If you cannot get the book legitimately then I have no problem with pirating.
Mind you how I define legitimately might differ then how you define legitimately. Personally, I think using VPN blockers to get books from the US or UK is legitimate. If it was a paper book you could order from either of those places and have it shipped to you. So I have no moral or ethical problem with skirting geographic restrictions. If the book is available only in EPub or Mobi then strip the DRM and convert it. If I can buy the paper book at any number of bookstores I should be able to do the same with the e-book.
If those options are not available then go ahead and pirate away. That means that the author or publisher or someone has decided to not make those books available via e-book format. When the book becomes available, pay for it.
