There's an infinite supply of copied ebooks.

Buying a second hand paperbook would also be putting money into the economy, which is a good thing to do at the moment. Especially if you can buy it locally.
But then again, downloading it for free would give the downloader more money to spend on other things, which would also be good for the economy.
