People have been complaining about the current generation for thousands of years. Complaining about "entitlement" is just more of the same nonsense. People aren't copying books because of a sense of entitlement, they are copying books because they can, and conversely, the reason people in the past didn't copy books was because they couldn't. It's like complaining about "narcissism".
When something isn't available as an e-book, people will copy it, so the wise thing to do would be to make the book available as an e-book. They would have done the same thing in the past if it they had e-books. I suppose someone could mail cash to the author if they copy an e-book that is not available for sale. I'm not advocating piracy, I don't illegally copy books, but it is not do to entitlement.
