I have no ethical issues with someone who downloads an eBook of something they've bought as a pBook, in the case where there's no commercial eBook available. My concerns lie with people who download eBooks and don't recompense the author (eg by buying a pBook) or even worse, download an illegal eBook where there is a "legit" one available.
