If you look at the collections you can download is is not reasonable that people downloading a collection will read all the books in the collection or most of them.

P2P may or may not result in greater publicity for, more awareness of, and higher sales for an author. I don't know. But as mentioned, it's simply a distribution method, like email attachments or stuff up on a website for access through http or ftp.

I think this is wrong. It is not simple a distribution method. It is a technical distribution method with an attached sub culture. It is the social thing that is an important aspect of it. And the collecting habit is part of the social thing.
