So, I downloaded all the pirate editions - including Deathly Hallows - which I had the day before the official release of the dead tree version.

Eventually, I may get over my snit and buy legal copies of HP in ebook format. I note that there are over 100 HP parodies, guides and non-fiction that reference HP in Kindle format. I guess even if Ms. Rowling won't make any ebook income off of HP, *someone* does!
