or
(c) it's a book you've been waiting for in a series you're reading and it's unlikely to become available cheaper in the foreseeable future.
There's really no other legitimate reason for buying an ebook.

You forgot:
(d) Someone was kind enough to give you a giftcard
or
(e) You were sleep-shopping (or taken over by book-loving aliens) and didn't notice the purchase until after the 7-day return period had passed.
Hey, it could happen!
A wonderful person recently gave me an Amazon gift card, and while I spent the majority of it on practical needs, I saved enough to splurge on an ebook or two. Haven't bought them yet, the selection process is half the fun!
