or how they would find out (being for personal use they would have no way of tracing you since they would never know about the files existence in the first place!)

I strip the DRM from everything I can, mainly so that I can move it between devices (as I am sure that I will be getting a new device at some point in the future!) and so that I can fix the formatting (only in a few cases have I really needed to - epub being the main one since some of the books I have had have a line which seems to get pushed off the page so I need to change the font size to see it!)

I do not share any of these books although I would possibly consider letting a friend/family have a copy if they so desired (not that any of my friends like gadgets enough to have a book reader!)
