e-books

Can't you just use a torrent program to download some, like Bit Comet and use a torrent search site like BT Junkie? That is how I got most of my audio books, besides Librivox which is a free public domain site. I have seen Word and PDF formats for books as well as audio books.

The eReader service has a great layout, indexing, searching, recommendations, and has stored every book I've purchased across a decade, a format change and 4 owners (it started off as Peanut Press, then was bought by Palm and renamed Palm Reader, then spun off as eReader, which was eventually bought by Barnes & Noble). When things are this easy to use and priced well (just avoid new releases) I am much more likely to use them, and an author's royalties for their ebooks are what I feel are proper and fitting.

Everyone gets paid, I pay a fair price and get a good interface and great customer service. I feel no desire to pirate the books.
