There's a great site called: [Project Gutenberg (http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/). It holds over 56K books for free. Most of them have surpassed their copyright so you're not doing the author a disservice and some of these older books are literally amazing.\n\nAs for taking the odd free download: I don't see the harm in it personally. If you were not in a position to buy it in the first place,<br> the author loses nothing by you downloading a freebie. \n\nIn fact... as a writer,<br> it feels good when people read your stuff,<br> right. I heard one artist (painter) say that the greatest compliment he ever had was having one of his paintings stolen. :D\n\n<center>![SIGNATURE.png (https:\/\/gateway.ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmQvVbyxq2G2RTvW6991HzzFMQezXT9nEDCCSbRhcaLLRp)<\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"books\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/gateway.ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmQvVbyxq2G2RTvW6991HzzFMQezXT9nEDCCSbRhcaLLRp\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
