I don't see the need to download stuff like that anyway. Amazon offers thousands of classic for free, as does Project Gutenberg, and you can download samples of books before you purchase. Why the need for pirated stuff?

I looked at the nook before Christmas, and my thought was that I would just as soon have an iPad if I were going that direction. Plus, it would probably hurt my eyes just as much as using the laptop for a long time.
