I think that nearly all that is downloaded are collections. In volume at least it totally dominates.
You objected to the claim that downloaders does not notice that they have a book. And if you are not reading the books why would you know which books you have if you have downloaded thousands of books? I saw one collection with more than 16000 books. Why do you think that people that have downloaded that collection know every book they have on their computer?

It is more than one technical distribution method. And granted the attached sub-culture and collecting habit, I don't see how that matters one way or the other.

You claimed it was just a distribution method. Claims that are wrong need to be corrected. How it matters is another question that I did not take up. But of course it matters since if you describe something wrongly you cannot analyse and build theories of how things works and will work in the future.
