The quality is BAD. I can excuse a few typos on a backlist book, but these were so bad that I went looking for the publisher's address on the copyright page in order to complain, only to discover THERE WAS NO COPYRIGHT PAGE or any publisher listed. If that doesn't spell pirate...
I read the reviews upon the discovery, no one mentioned they were pirated, just that the ebook quality was poor. So my bad for buying without reading, but I knew I liked the books, and was just so excited to finally see them available in the US as ebook. Never occurred to me that Amazon would be offering pirated books from such a well-known author. I just thought that whatever reason they hadn't been available in the US previously had been resolved. I had been checking for YEARS after all!

It's not all that uncommon for pirated eBooks to be uploaded to Amazon.
My Mary Stewart Arthurian Legend books are all on my bookshelves as hardcovers. I'm aware of the ebook omnibus, but I have long had doubts over the legitimacy of that one.[/QUOTE]
You can go to eBooks.com or Kobo.com and "travel" to the UK and legitimately buy the Mary Steward Arthurian Legend eBooks and/or the Harper Hall eBooks.
