Fair Use?
OK, so I'm new to eReaders and I have to say that I'm done with hardcopy books (at least stuff like novels) for good. eBooks are just much easier to deal with than paper.

Here's the thing though. I've got a couple of books that I bought in paperback but hadn't gotten to before I bought my eReader. Also, my wife is still reading books on paper so if we're both going to read a particular book, then we'll have to buy it in paper for her.

So the question is: What does everyone think the ethics are of downloading ebook copies of books you already own on paper from P2P networks like BitTorrent?
