"what non piracy reasons are there"
"If you have nothing to hide then what's the problem with putting a camera in the bathroom. What non crime reasons could there be?"
Really though, if you're technically proficient enough for torrenting and vpns, you're proficient enough to convert to newer formats, too.
So even then, it's really just not that big a deal. Other than being a once-used format for the platform. And honestly how many devices are still functioning that can only use mobi? Heck I have a 10 year old Kindle somewhere that probably has 4 or 5 different formats from about 10 different sources.
You’re being silly. This wouldn’t inconvenience any legitimate buyer. And pirated material is in epub format already or can easily be converted to it.
Self-contradict much?
I didn’t contradict anything I wrote. What do you care about books if you can’t even read?
Wow, and now personal insults. You really got me there, mate.
