I've gone to the great Imperial library of Trantor on the dark web and grabbed a bunch of ebooks that you can't find anywhere for any price.

I don't have any guilt getting the ebook for free of titles we own as physical books. Mostly older stuff there though.

I have sometimes purchased digital versions of books that I own in hard cover just because it was convenient to have them in ebook form. I sort of think I shouldn't have to pay again but what can you do.
I certainly don't feel guilty about stripping DRM from books that I paid for. I feel like if I buy a physical book I can hand it to my husband or sister to read when I am finished. Why can I not do that with an ebook? I'm not selling the digital files on ebay or anything! And frequently I pay the same or more than I would for a physical book even though there is no cost-of-goods involved.
Never been on the dark web but I am intrigued.
And on the subject of Kobo devices (which was my question to begin with) there is an active Kobo group on reddit and they all LOVE their Kobos. I may buy one. We shall see.
Thx for the input.
