methinks, that since in some cases book piracy in general is quite work intensive (as scan, proofread and format whole book series), it is no field for digital money-making
even in times of significantly weaker PC's (e.g. 586-class) when the conversion of a 1CD audio album from wav to mp3 needed multiple hours this was still faster than semi-manual digitizing of just one book, so misguided philantropy is, IMO a good guess about motives.
