When has HarperCollins ever sold eBooks in the US exclusively at Amazon? Since EOS is now Harper Voyage, the EOS name should not be used. I cannot find any listing of these books other than Amazon. That's not normal. Can anyone actually prove these are legit? I think they are not legit. The crooks just did a better job at faking it this time around. I've been to HarperCollins site and they list no eBooks.
Another reason I believe these to not be legal is that
The Crystal Cave is using the UK cover (legit eBooks in the UK). Also, when you do a look inside, you see straight quotes. The legit UK version has the usual curly quotes. The illegal version has a full line to show section breaks. That's not how it's done by Harper Voyager.
I see many indications that these are illegal and no indication that they are legal. They appear to be scan/OCR copies. So don't buy these just to get a cheaper Audible copy. That's aiding an abetting since you now know the eBooks (in the US) are not legal.
