We do this so that others may benefit from the knowledge contained within the book. Perhaps those others cannot afford the prices set by the writer of the text, perhaps their library cannot afford the prices set by the writer of the text, but these others can afford an ereader, once they are free. And then walk to a wifi spot and download all the texts to their device.

Or alternatively, it just feels right.
