The user HarryT (a mod, I'm assuming) has closed my thread at:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=267849

because "We do not permit MobileRead's forums to be used to ask or give assistance in any way whatsoever with pirated books."

However, the thread asked for no such assistance, and was simply asking for recommendations regarding my fourth eReader purchase. Having just recently become active on this forum again, I had already reviewed the posting guidelines in the sticky, and found NO mention of such a policy whatsoever, and can only assume that HarryT is tremendously fun at parties.

I'd love to inquire about other users' feelings on this topic, preferably after having read my original post. Bonus points if you have a recommendation, because I'm still hoping to purchase another eReader.

Thanks!
