I don't know the reasons behind but it is happening. I guess "potluck" is part of it. You invest €10 and buy a book and upload. 20 other people do same and you have 21 books for price of €10. Or people believe in sharing.

With ebooks it's simpler than with regular books since they are already in proper format and don't have to be scanned and uploaded.
