Or perhaps the OP doesn't want to cause more pollution via paper, or toxins
via all the ink used.

Or perhaps lugging around a huge 3 lb book in his brief-case or backpack is
not appealing.

Or perhaps it's the fact that most PDF books are all cross linked and
referenced with indexes and such so you can simply click.

Or perhaps b/c PDFs are convenient to keep on your PDA (or phone even these
days) so you always have the reference material handy.

Or perhaps they are a "pirate" and just didn't want to pay for the book and
a PDF is easier to obtain on USENET or other news feeds...

My point is, you don't know what the OP's reasons are, but there were FOUR
very real, very plausible reasons I just listed for wanting an eBook, vs.
your ONE single accusatory comment. Last I checked, it was not illegal to
purchase an eBook from someone that didn't want their copy anymore. Perhaps
he was requesting a private dialog for that reason and to keep the list
clear of unnecessary clutter.

I have a garage full of paper books/manuals that I have no idea WTF to do
with because they're all outdated and the recycle people won't take them b/c
it's too heavy in the blue bin. Libraries don't want them. I can't sell
them, shipping alone would cost too much -- I can't even give many of them
away. I *WISH* I had them in PDF form -- then I could sell them to people
over the internet, simply delete them, or archive them off to CD/DVD.

I always prefer PDF books to paper books now-a-days for the very reasons I
listed.

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? How sad we've become as
a society.
