I believe many consumers choose to pay for their mp3 tunes and feel smug rather than hopping from public sharing application to public sharing application as they get shut down and spring up, searching for the tune they want at the quality they want, fixing the tags, deleting the spam and trojans, etc.

There's no reason legit eBooks couldn't also be more attractive than pirated versions. In the meantime, though, we find eBooks often selling for more than their paperback or hardcover versions, and often poorly edited and formatted.
