I’ve just finished reading ‘The Book of Lost Things’ by John Connolly.

Please support the authors you love by adhering to copyright regulations. The same laws apply for digital books as digital music etc. And no, purchasing an ebook does not give you the right to share it around. Many readers ask why when they can lend or give a print book. The answer is simple. It is ILLEGAL to COPY a digital file. While many authors would not object to a reader making a back-up copy for their own personal use to prevent loss, you cannot 'give' a digital book to another person without first buying another copy (or in other words more than one license). Most people when they file-share or pass on a digital file keep the original and therefore a copy is made. Do so and I don't care what reasons you care to give, you are breaking the law and hurting the writers, many of whom write on top of a full-time job while trying to have a normal life. Many people believe producing digital copies of an item has no cost but this is simply untrue. For one thing it costs the author in 'hours' and hard work. Please show your support by reading, accepting, and abiding by copyright law. Do not give out files or accept them from file-sharing sites and always report a breach of copyright. Thank you.
