The issue of "what is owning something in the modern day?" Or "whether the second hand book market is ethical?" are not quite the issues I expected to come from this question. I suppose however, that the vast interconnectedness of the world, is part of what makes ethics fun to discuss in the first place.

Remembering to properly delete any digital copies if I ever give up, sell, lose, or otherwise damage the original book. Thus maintaining that as my "book access pass" is basically the take I've gotten from this?

Is it stealing to pirate a book, or is it abelist and classist to prevent someone who needs it, from getting the kind of book they need.(a bit of an exaggeration of those terms I know.) To have the right to a service, someone else must be obliged to provide it. If making and maintaining a book in brail is more labour intensive, then you should charge more to compensate the labourer. If being born blind makes books more expensive then isn't that injust?

I'd say it's both which is why I asked for further insight. I believe that authors should be properly compensated for their work, and that I shouldn't have to pay for secondary copies of books I already own to correct a health issue. These are conflicting beliefs and thus both buying E versions and pirating the books will cause cognitive dissonance.
