I pirate when I want to make my own copy of a book that is not available in ebook format.

Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series is the perfect illustration of this. I have bought 7-10 hardcover omnibus editions of the books I like the most.
But I don't want to have to hold those big books. I want them on my ereader, but they don't exist.

So I download a copy, clean it up and make it a duplicate of my hardcover. Voila, I have a nice e-version of the book I want. And I don't go out and share it.

Now tell me how THAT is somehow immoral?
