Ebooks, due to their small size are quite often downloaded from IRC channels, and Usenet servers. Those methods don't make the files available to anyone while downloading. BitTorrent, eMule and similar P2P technologies are more feasible to the downloaders because of the large size of the files, and that's why they're used with video clips and music collections.
