Those pDocs seem like eBooks as well the way folks are referring to them. I have a hunch they overpaid a lot compared to the same eBooks on Amazon.
If price is really a factor, one can just borrow without any additional cost from the Amazon Lending Library if one has Amazon Prime which also offers free 2 day shipping on all other Amazon products for one year.
I certainly have no idea why folks would pay higher prices from non-Amazon sources and then convert them with Calibre to an Amazon format or use other eReader Apps to read them on the Fire.

Some prefer indie publishers, sites with a specific genre, etc., where they sell books in multiple formats with NO DRM and at the same price, possibly less. Many have been loyal customers for years and continue to support their favorite publishers/retailer(s).
