While participants in P2P distribution networks may be anonymous, what is distributed is not. Folks using P2P are looking for specific things, including books. If someone downloads a book via P2P, it's likely it's either a book they want, or a book someone they know wants.
To collect. If you download a collection with thousands of authors and their books you do not download it for reading. Also a lot of people download books to be able to search in them and not for reading. I am pretty sure that only a very small percentage of the books that gets downloaded are actually read.
