Unless I want to read a page or a chapter of a book for some reference, I love to own the book. And when it comes to media ownership, I hate crappy quality. That is why I never downloaded a torrent movie every in my life. I like good print, good sound, good picture quality - and no free website can offer that.
I go the extreme that once I bought a second grade printed version of Nuskha Haa-e-Wafa, and honest to goodness, I gave it away to some one as it was printed on a cheap paper and binding was very 2nd class.
