Lately the amount of trash on Amazon has increased so much that I am rarely going to shop for new books there. I simply don't have time to go through inflated reviews and everything.
Piracy sites, however, are pickier about what works they accept. Only most popular books are included and there is lower risk of disappointment. And if I like the book I can buy it on Amazon later. If guess that from publisher's point of view appearance of their books on piracy sites is a good thing as it means that people appreciate them enough to pirate and in turn pirating will increase their popularity even more. Whereas on Amazon or other retailers websites they would be lost among thousands of mediocre works.
