Using Amazon as a way to donate to authors when it takes 70% of the cut (authors get less for physical books) and delivers an inferior service to zlibrary is absurd. That’s not morality, that’s servitude. At least PayPal only takes a few percent.

If you feel bad about privacy, pay a random author half the Amazon price of your library and you’ll be a better person than somebody who meekishly shovels Bezos a ton of money in misguided morality. One that makes reading an exclusive right of the wealthy.
