Out of curiosity, I downloaded a pirated copy of a novel. It was very crudely formatted, and would have been painful to me to read.
I then looked up the same novel on the ebook stores, and found I could get a proper copy for $4.
I'd far rather spend the $4 to get a copy, than hours tidying up the illicit version.
But then I'm lucky - $4 isn't a great deal of money to me, I can afford to be 'honest'.
I'm thinking the people who'd download and read the pirated text must be too hard up to buy it.
