completely apart from the question of respecting copyright on whose importance you're insisting -- and you are right about that -- i don't see in what way the fact that several different sites exist offering free public domain books to download would diminish the offerings of any one of those sites, which is what you seem to be implying, nor do i see why we shouldn't appreciate the people who do the admittedly intensive and sometimes tedious work of formatting them for us in an attractive way to enhance the reading experience. manybooks uses automated programs for this, mobileread members each have their own workflow which is more individual, but all of these contributions are valuable to our collective culture and should be appreciated rather than denigrated.
