Are we still talking about e-books?

It's better that it is screenshots/scanned copies. Screenshots will usually have some other sort of annoying stuff added to it; serving as a constant reminder that the book is stolen (coworkers see it etc). Same thing with scanned copies.

Not if it necessitates people to steal because they cannot load their legally acquired epub books on Kindle or vice versa.

How did you jump from what I had said to this? Many people are following the rules; I never said people are following the rules.

I believe that most people follow reasonable rules. On the other hand, if you think that your customers are incorrigible law-breakers then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy and they will become thieves.
As an example: Even the London looters spared the bookstores.
I think that people who read books are in general more educated and honest than those who mostly download music and movies from torrents.
