I store all my books as PDFs and on my local storage, backed up on disk and on the cloud. Years worth of tech manuals with detailed notes are not to be trusted to unknown individuals running a company focused on financial profit.
Before I buy any books, and I do, I always search for the title with a pdf extension. 60-70% of the time, a pdf opens with the book. Perfectly legal on my part and I have zero moral issue with it, and I think you are silly if you do. If I find I’m reading an author a lot I’ll go out of my way to buy from them directly. But my first obligation is to the finances of my family as opposed to an unknown author without the sense to protect their work. I wouldn’t want it done to me, but again family finances come first.
Just my 2cents
