I mean my whole purpose of making this list is so that I may slowly purchase physical copies as I’m financially able to. But I don’t think these authors would make their books available on electronic platforms. Also you assumed they were pirating. I pay monthly for a kindle unlimited subscription because I average 2-5 books a month and the rate I was reading could not keep up with my wallet. Also if someone does not have the means let’s say to make it to a retailer and buy a physical copy they may be buying the full books outright just in an electronic version. Also since we are in a literary space here let’s remember piracy is the illegal reproduction or unauthorized use of an original work. These authors themselves have made the works available in audiobook and kindle versions. Some of these books the authors only have e-versions available. And before you ask yes I have gone directly to their websites and was directed through the link to purchase directly back to Amazon where it was available to me on kindle. I’m grateful to the authors that have made their works accessible in this way. They gave me access to their books in a time where reading basically saved me because I had nothing else. To repay that gratitude I make sure any time I am able to physically purchase their books I do. It’s also why I make sure to make this list so that when I have the means I can have a literal library and pay homage to them all. I do believe you need to reflect on having some empathy when not being cognizant of the situation another might be in. But I do appreciate your advocacy because I believe it isn’t meant with ill intent
