In fact, there’s just one method of obtaining books that Sim opposes. “Any way people want to read the book is fine by me, unless they’re pirating it. Some people online try to justify pirating saying they’re just stealing from Amazon and these big, evil publishing corporations — well, they’re stealing from authors, too, and the vast majority of us are making far below a living wage. So cut it out!”
By the way, if you’re still following the read and return TikTok trend where users return ebooks after reading, please stop as this hurts writers too.
