Murakami, like all working authors, depends on royalties. Downloading an unauthorized PDF deprives him (and his translators, Philip Gabriel and Ted Goossen) of income. Furthermore, a legitimate purchase—whether print, ebook, or audiobook—supports the ecosystem that allows literary fiction to exist.

: Some critics note that Murakami’s prose remains as repetitive and simple as his fiction, which can feel monotonous to some but comforting and "classic Murakami" to fans.
