I'll happily repurchase them for two reasons. The first is to get really good e-copies, so I don't have to wonder what the boot-legger might have omitted/corrupted without noticing.
The second, and more important, is to send a firm message that I, for one, will
pay for legit e-books
when they're available. I'm just one person, I know, but I figure: drop by drop the bucket fills.
Consider for a moment the message it would send to pubs if one of the hottest series in recent history, which had massive stories all over the place about pirated e-books as each volume came out, also had massive
legit e-book sales when the
petaQ finally got around to releasing it as a legit e-book.
Arguably
the most e-pirated series
still selling massive numbers of legit e-copies?
True, the pub industry is really boneheaded, but if they can ignore a message like that, then they
deserve obscurity and doom.
