I love J.K. Rowling's work. I've tried but I can't understand this.

Buy a physical copy of the book and download an "illegal" ebook. Worry about what is moral vs what is legal.
I guess I'm just Chaotic Good that way. Did you pay for a copy of the work? IMO that's what matters.
I feel the same way about ripping a DVD I own and dropping it onto a computer or ipod/tablet for the kids when we are traveling. Is it legal? No. Is it moral? Sure.
There's a growing disconnect between what is right and the kinds of restrictions copyright holders and DRM are piling unto people.
