Well, things have changed considerably since I started this thread. I am no longer the naive grandmother that I was just a week ago.

Some very knowledgeable people have contacted me and let me know I was going about it all wrong. Torrent sites were not the place to find ebooks. I was led in the right direction and conducted my not-so-scientific experiment once again.

This time, I was able to find every single book on my wish list as well as any other book I could think of. All were available in multiple formats - which doesn't really matter since I use Calibre - and all were perfectly formatted. Another big plus was that they are all obviously DRM free.

So now my opinion has changed. Once a person knows the right direction in which to go, almost any book can be had free and easy with formatting indistinguishable (at least to me) from that of purchased books. This is a much bigger problem for publishers and authors than I had originally figured.
