As long as the publishers keep on trying to rip people off by charging them logistics, storage, distribution and production costs that ebooks do not incur (or are negligible compared to paper books), people would find some sort of moral justification for piracy. I checked Demonoid.com after reading this heated discussion. Their selection of ebooks is narrow (mostly IT-related books). Thankfully I read classics and Feedbooks have most of what I want. I read literary theory as well which simply does not exist in ebook format. I tried scanning Alain Badiou's Being and Event using Abbey Finereader 9.0 (Professional) and a HP all in one flatbed type scanner at a friend's house but the pages contained so many mistakes and typos that I just gave up after scanning two or three of them.
