- AndrewWarner 17y agoI don't think there's a pirate book community out there yet. Is there?
- kqr2 17y agoJust check the torrents... Also, people will often do translations of popular books (c.f Harry Potter) before the publisher gets around to it.
- jakarta 17y agoFor business books, there is definitely a pirate community. I've noticed it specifically with anything related to investing.

- patio11 17y agoSome of us are not spoiled children. If I want to buy your book, and you don't want to sell me your book, that's fine -- I'll buy someone else's book. I've chewed through about 40 novels on my Kindle already, but its not like I'm in imminent danger of running out if I can't buy yours. (The only people I see this working out for are "event" book such as, e.g., the Harry Potters of the world.)
- blahedo 17y agoWell, I don't even have an ebook reader. I'm sure there are many scrupulous people out there who won't pirate the books, but that doesn't mean they're going to buy the hardcover either. This isn't "I'm cheap/poor, I'll wait for the paperback", this is "I physically can't display a hardcover on my Kindle, so I'll get something else."
