Is book piracy a major concern for the publishing industry? Many avid readers that I know are happier buying the physical book because they like the feel of reading from a book. Have others found this to be true as well? I wonder if younger folks are less susceptible to this feeling.
- Synaesthesia 6y agoMost people don't know how to pirate books but yeah it is. I got a lot of university textbooks this way.

As for piracy if the places I see libgen and it's kind referenced are any indication then this isn't about just any readers but about students, professors etc. who want to access scientific publications.
