Expected a discussion about breaking commercial document formats.
To your point, it is pretty incredible that this site hosts a bunch of free books that can even be sent to a kindle (something I haven’t tried yet). Quite frankly, I pay for books to support the author, but I get using this as a resource if you want to peruse something quickly or are financially strapped.
I also support the author if they're worthy - buying many books I haven't even cracked open - but for books that I'm really not sure about yet, or where the author is no longer alive, or super overpriced textbooks on basic knowledge I do like to have an alternative source. 🏴☠️
It's also worth it to have backups of all your ebooks in case Amazon goes 1984 again and starts removing things.
The removal of digital copies is a main reason I prefer owning physical ones. For example, Amazon banned the pdf here as well as Cowan’s book “Contagion Myth”
