"It was in one of the history books I was reading in the 90's and they are in a storage garage about 400miles away." As much as I hate ereaders, there's an excellent example of why ebooks are a good thing.

e-readers are great, re-buying all the books is not so great.

  Since you already own them, why not torrent them?
  - protomyth 14y ago
    Because I made a personal decision that I wouldn't torrent anything but open source stuff. If I'm going to format shift, I will buy the item. The author deserves the money for continuing their efforts.

      I don't disagree with your decision to not torrent, but whether the author gets any money from format shifting is determined by each author's contract for each work.

        Yep, and since I don't have access to the contracts, I will take the safe route.
