Ok, here is my why. I realize your pov makes a lot of sense. I did have to scramble to get my fiction wise books. Did so successfully, thankfully.
But it's a hassle. My home computer situation isn't stable. I mostly use work provided laptops. But I change jobs fairly frequently. So I'm always installing Calibre and setting things up, and again and again.
It's not Calibre's fault.
I do not how to get a copy of a book from places not to mention. If I bought a book, I feel no quilt about such activity.
Since I don't like to read on the Kindle app...I do MUCH of the time, download the books to liberate them so I can read them in my favorite app. Even so, it's a hassle and sometimes I just don't bother.
