Is it illegal to print an eBook for personal use?

Answer 1

It is perfectly legal to download books that are in the public domain. This usually includes older books that the copyright has not been renewed on. These are usually classics such as The Scarlet Letter or A Christmas Carol. There are websites that contain thousands of these books. However, if you start freely downloading newer copyrighted books such as Twilight, Harry Potter, The DaVinci Code, and so on, you can run yourself into some legal problems. Many new books are available in e-book form legally, but they must be purchased from a reputable dealer that has rights to market them. See the related questions below for more on where to find free or purchasable e-books.

Answer 2

NO! You can print it (you did buy it right/\?..either way.)But it is ILLEGAL to sell it after you've printed it.It's because of the copyright that comes with books nowadays...oh while on the topic of copyright.Some books are so old they don't have copyright! (I still wouldn't recommend selling it though.)

But to answer your question , no it is not illegal to print an ebook for personal use.

ILLEGAL:Selling the book once you've printed it.

Answer 3

It depends on the terms and conditions outlined by the eBook's publisher. Some publishers allow printing for personal use, while others prohibit it to protect their copyright. It is best to check the specific terms of use for the eBook in question.

Answer 4

Only if they distributed copyrighted materials. However, many older books are available legally for free, because their copyright expired.
