I'm sure.
Sorry, but what relevance does that really have? It's amusing that people are willing to go so far, but then stop. If people want to get books in a bulk package, and you make them fiddle arround on your website getting individual books...well, guess what? They're going to go to the darknets, or not download.
(I don't get ebooks from here because the interface is simply clunky, too slow and lacks proper, saveable filtering options (genres and formats, for starters), there's no easy reference to legal status of the books (because what's PD there dosn't mean it's PD where I am) and so on.)
Depending on the client, torrents can be checked for updates, you realise? They can go and actively grab new versions of a book, rather than someone again having to manually check your website. There are other ways to do that, certainly, but none really convenient. Good luck on developing another push technology, incidentally.
