If you wish to equate physical and nonphysical things, no one can prevent you. Many people have been known to find a difference between an act where something tangible is taken from a person, and one where copying means otherwise.

See there's the basis of your flawed thinking right there. Just because an eBook is easy to copy and doesn't seem "physical" to you means it isn't tangable property. Yet, those bits (1 and 0) arranged the way they were took effort, they were produced, just as the chair your sitting in was. They both have inherent value. Until you see that you will obviously continue to steal eBooks with a false justification.
I would assume that you also don't feel like you need to buy software since you can obtain it and it isn't tangble?
Ok, as far as burning in hell, that is between you and your "god" but at the least I think an admitted theif should be banned from mobileread.
