Individually pirating from authors when you can afford the book is indeed something to at least look on suspicion if not outright critique for the consequences

Individually pirating from authors when you can afford the book is indeed something to at least look on suspicion if not outright critique for the consequences of consuming a work and not paying for it in any way. Publishing is cutthroat and lack of sales, especially new in a series or authors career, is basically used as justification to ditch the author and ditch the book series… in every way one is consuming the authors work as a fan and also working against the author producing in the future. At the very least why not become a reviewer, that way you can receive advanced copies and in return write a review to generate hype for the book?
