"Fair use" laws vary dramatically from country to country. From what I understand of their respective laws, in the US it perhaps is fair use, but in the UK, at the current time at least, it is assuredly not (just as buying a CD and then ripping it to your iPod is, at the current time, illegal in the UK).
Whatever fair use might say, downloading a pirated ebook sure as heck isn't
