I also discovered large amounts of user scanned books on Usenet and felt perfectly justified in using that resource...especially for books that I owned physical copies of. After all, it's not like there were ecopies available for sale at the time. (I saw the light after ebooks started to be readily available and deleted the collection.) |
The books I bought (mostly C.J. Cherryh titles) from peanut were in the format for Palm devices. I format shifted them, but eventually bought cleaner copies from Baen.
