There Are People Already Sharing Ebooks Out There, .. And They Do It Simply Because They Love Books. You Don't Buy A Second Copy Of A Book, Cut The Spine Off, Lay Each Page On A Scanner, Run That .tif Through An Ocr (optical Character Reader), Hand Edit The Resulting Output For Errors And Then Post It Online If You Don't Love The Book.
