They will convert, if necessary. Most certainly have the skills to do so.
But they aim for finding their stuff, forwarding and spreading it.
And if I listen to their descriptions, availability of ePUBS outweighs any other format at least tenfold.

Okay, of course I can't speak for "all pirates".
But the picture in my tiny test group is absolutely unambiguously.
Imagine, you have to touch hundreds of downloaded books - every single day.
(Well, they probably don't download every day, but you get my point).
I am still waiting to hear about why pirates care about the format (any more than anyone else does).
Especially when it comes to all those pirate "producers".

I can certainly accept that EPUB is more available, but available != preferred.

I would bet, most simply upload whatever their OCR spits out.
