The question is not how many pbooks you have, but how many of them you paid the authors for. If you buy a book second hand that's no better than piracy. If you buy it from a discount bin the author probably doesn't get a cent, so that's no better than piracy either. And libraries, ha, libraries pay a token fee that overwhelmingly goes to the more popular authors and pretend that this legitimates their wholesale theft of the authors' intellectual property.
The only honest way to buy a book is a first run, full price hardback.
Anything else is stealing.
