i'm curious, with the news that the ebook version of ToM is being delayed for a year, would you download a pirated copy instead? did you, or will you buy a copy of the hardcover instead/also? supposedly this delay comes "at the request of the authors estate" meaning Harriet? does that influence your decision?

 

personally, i haven't read a paper book in years, and so find myself in somewhat of a dilemma. i ordered a copy of the hardcover, just because it looks nice on my shelf next to the other 11 books, but i also ordered a kindle copy to actually read, but won't be getting it. is it wrong to download a pirated copy online even if i have a hard copy?

 

what do you think?

I think this belongs in the Ebook release delayed until Nov 2011 at Harriet's request thread. I'd merge them, but you'd probably wonder where your post went. So instead, I'm locking this one, and you're more than welcome to ask your questions over there (except the one where you ask if people downloaded a pirated copy, please).
