And they wonder why we download books from Z-library with a VPN instead of the, "legitimate" option. It is very similar to using ad blockers. If "legitimate" businesses refuse to let me view and pay for their products without being tracked, loaded with malware and/or having my data sold to third parties, then as far as I'm concerned they have no grounds to complain when I go another route.

I am pretty sure Amazon was giving me ads based on books on my kindle that I did not buy through Amazon, so you also would have to pay attention not to connect to any network even if you acquire books by other means.
