Ethical conundrum:
I have finished my book. I am in a frantic, feverish state of "omg must know what happens in the next one must have MOAR OMG (author) YOU GENIUS MADMAN".
I am housesitting for my folks' house. The next book is in my apartment.
I do not want to shovel out the car and drive for an hour (round trip) to my apartment when I will be dropping by it tomorrow, but I really want to know what happens next. I do own the book and have paid for it. I'm aware there are copies available for free on the internet.
*gnaws on things and does not pirate the book and wishes wholeheartedly that when you buy a book you got the license for the ebook as well*
EDIT: Agony relieved! Tor (the publisher) has two novellettes in the same series available for free on its website! I shall bubble over with happiness (or, given the stories in question, anxiety, bated breath, horror, glee, and suspense) until I am finished reading them.
