You're worrying a little too much.

I have a cheesy trilogy (A Vision of Beasts by Jack Lovejoy) that hasn't been released in e-format and likely never will be. I sent them to a friend to digitize and never got the originals back. I don't know if he destroyed the paperbacks or not. But he's unlikely to read them himself (he has better taste). Having a friend that works in publishing can be a perk.

Hold on a second. You gave someone a copy of a pbook, they gave you back a digital copy and they kept the original?

Doesn't that make you a pirate?

He said he did not ask the person what was done with the original copy. In fact most pb book conversions destroy the original.

Correct, he said he didn't know. So he may be a pirate. In case you missed it, the smiley was meant to indicate that the post was a joke.

My secret is out! The bandito disguise is a ruse to draw attention away from my hook hand and peg leg.
