Probably relatively few; I said myself right at the start of the thread that the case where there IS no eBook commercially available is one in which I personally consider downloading a pirated book to be ethically justifyable, if you've bought the paper book.
I have a copy of the Harry Potter eBooks myself (as well as two sets of the paper books). The key question is what all those people will do when legal eBooks
do become available: will they buy them? I certainly shall.
