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.

Yes, but as far as I'm aware the set of people who put work into the production of the e-book does not have 100% overlap with the set of people who put work into the production of my paperback edition, which is my main issue there.

At any rate, the discovery of those online novellettes tided me over, and I'm dropping by my place tomorrow. :D
