I am a bit unsure I would be safe as I would be logged into my Amazon account so there would be some form of record, even though I'm not sharing the e-books with anyone just sending it directly to my Kendall
You are not allowed to ask for help on illegal eBooks such as those from a file sharing site.

It's a step to the dark side.It imperils your psyche.

It also cheats authors, the majority of whom don't make a living wage. Only about 0.1% of authors make big money.

For me, that would be ebook piracy. Most authors work at full/part time jobs and even then have trouble making enough money from writing to be able to continue writing never mind the small number of authors who actually make a living from writing without us encouraging piracy.

That many of the ebooks from file sharing sites also have errors that would prevent Amazon from processing them without you having to learn how to edit ebooks to correct those errors can also be a consideration.
