| Sumario: | The present article seeks to reflect on the reading of digital books in contemporary times based on the consumption carried out amidst piracy. Thus, the impacts of the Digital Revolution will be discussed based on John B. Thompson (2021, 2023) and the culture of piracy intrinsic to the practices of consumption and access to books. The reading of digital books will be considered with the rationalities of consumption proposed by Néstor García Canclini (1997, 2008, 2014, 2015) and contrasted with empirical data from a larger research project with university students, which included questionnaires, reading logs, and interviews in the year 2023. The article does not aim to make ethical judgments about these illicit practices but to bring visibility to one of the ways in which digital books are currently being consumed. |
