I recently purchased the Mary Stewart Merlin Trilogy (Crystal Cave, Hollow Hills and The Last Enchantment) as ebooks from Amazon. I was even able to purchase the audio books at a discount because I had the ebooks. Recently, on one of the ebook forums, the question was raised if these are pirated ebooks, or if they are legit. The published is listed as EOS, which I believe became Harper Voyager. Do you know if these ebooks are indeed published by HarperCollins? I see the paper version of the books on your website.
Thanks

That's it.
It's certainly possible that the people at HarperCollins are mistaken, but at some point you just have to accept what they tell you. Both Amazon and HarperCollin said it's legit.
I've certainly seen other ebooks where the cover didn't match. Sometime when they go to ebooks, they don't have the rights to the original cover art, so they use something else. Either something new, or something they do have the rights to.
I really do get why some may think that it isn't legit and if they don't want to buy it, that's fine. But I've done my due diligence. But as I said earlier, there are also some pretty strong signals that it's legit.
