Truly, there is no justification whatsoever for any reader to pirate an ebook copy of an independent author. In the main the books are competitively priced (even free), Geo unrestricted, DRM free and available in multiformat.

I understand a frustrated reader prevented by GR looking at filesharing options to obtain a book published by big publishing companies (I will hold my hand up on that score) but NEVER understand not supporting an indie author by not buying the ebook.
Thanks for supporting indie authors.
