So in that situation, I'm perfectly willing to get myself a pirated copy for my 505. Moreover, I would be perfectly willing to get myself a pirated copy even if I had a Kindle.
So if you find pirated copies of some of the eBooks and after that they become available in a format you can put on your 505, would you still pay for them even after you already have them and have paid for them?
