I see ‘Anna Archive’ mentioned frequently in discussions about ebooks that can be downloaded for free. It seems that much of what they offer is illegally uploaded. Although the intention of ‘Anna Archive’ is to preserve knowledge, in most countries it is illegal to distribute copyrighted work without permission from the copyright holder. This means that the majority of work uploaded by ‘Anna Archive’ will be written by authors trying to earn a living from their sales and licensed downloads.

Of course I can see that free books are a wonderful thing for people with limited budgets in countries where books are expensive. But there are many perfectly legal ways to access public domain books too – Project Gutenberg for one, and most public libraries lend ebooks free to their members, to read with software called Libby or OverDrive. So I might use the Anna Archive occasionally too, but I would hope that people would prefer to support the many wonderful people who create books, and the literary ecosystem as a whole, by using free and legal alternatives instead.

Trading is probably the most underappreciated method of getting e-books. I'm part of a few book groups where we swap files with each other. One person buys a book, removes the DRM (which is legal in certain circumstances to use personally), and then shares it with the group. The next person buys a different book and removes the DRM from that, sharing that with the group. The system is small, reliant on trust, but very cheap and very fair - it's like sharing physical books with friends. Not really suitable for wider distribution, but it's a very nice way of sharing books with a group of friends who read similar things to you and are also technically-minded enough to deal with whatever software is needed to share the files.
