when amazon books could be de-drmed and “my” torrent site showed an interest/appreciation for uploaders i often uploaded ebouks i had bought.

well, both is no longer the case but if it were i still would.

i also occassionally buy music, books and even movies i very much like.

also i adhore being dependant on the whims of a company, being it amazon, netflix or spotify. i want a physical or at least selfowned copy of what i paid for and not only the licence to consume.

AFAIK epub is not universally supported and def. not by any kindle.

best dl, run through calibre (convert to mobi/azw) and transfer this via usb to kindle.

best

when you dl from any seller site do you know what you get regarding spy/mal/bloatware? for sure?

i would not dl from usenet or a public tracker though.

i am a thief like we all are, no need for euphemism.

but i’d rather be robin hood than stoertebeker.

where do you think your files come from?

i just think if everybody once in a while would just buy and upload one file there would be a lot of new or unusual stuff.

there are no longer many movies i like that much and if so i usually jtst buy the dvd.

it got way too complicated nowadays. starting with megabig files you not always can easily covert and watch.

then there is stuff i saw on tv which isn’t available for free often not even can be bought. i have never figured out how to crack these coded stuff. so it just is on a storage disc. i hate it but don’t know a way around.

so, you certainly are not alone.
