The trademark/copyright stuff I get but I don't see how the screen scraping could be illegal.. How is it any different than a person logging in and writing it down manually..
eReaders are awesome. I used to read so many physical books but the physical space that they were taking + needing to carry the books around was a barrier.
I tried reading books on my phone but it just destroyed my eyes. I got a super old Kindle Paperwhite and it has been super enjoyable. There are times I just throw it in my pocket now I will end up reading on the go.
It took me a while to discover Calibre but once I did the management of ebooks became really so easy. I am 41 books in this year on my goal of 52.
