Illegal Books Available For Free On Google's Android Market

Dozens of commercial book collections, including the entire Harry Potter series, have been downloaded for free from Google’s official Android Market after being uploaded by an unauthorised publisher.

The books were posted to the store this month by an unknown developer named UKER and proved popular with thousands of downloaders, according to AppBrain data.

The apps contain full e-book text but are of poor quality, with clumsy navigation.
