Hacker News Reader

Piracy sites are full of high-quality scans of books that don't offer PDF versions - even modern ones. Sometimes it's the only way to read an out-of-print book where a paper copy is simply impossible to find.

If your book blows up there will be people carefully photocopying the physical book and counterfeiting it for a profit.

I ran that same logic for Ace the Data Science Interview, and I'm facing the exact counterfeit issues as the OP!

I would buy this if there was a kindle version.
