But sometimes things get complicated. I was given a book, the first book in Louis Lamour's Sackett series, and I don't know it's source. I loaned a Kobo to someone with a book on it and it was returned to me with this book on it as well, from the son of the woman I loaned it to. I don't know him but my assumption is that it's a pirated book.

I started reading it, decided I liked it and bought the book for my Kindle. Now here's where it gets tricky. The copy I bought is rather difficult to read. There are neither indentations at the start of a paragraph or blank lines between paragraphs. I began reading the next chapter and got a few pages in and it was a real fight to figure out who was saying what to whom.

I've just gone back to reading the book on my Kobo, where it's very nicely formatted with a blank line between paragraphs.

I can't really be sure that it's a pirate copy. i wouldn't bet lunch on it, yay or nay. But it's a lot better copy than the one I bought. I doubt I'd finish the Kindle version. I rarely leave reviews but I'm going to leave one for this. It's really difficult to read.
