Life isn't all lounging around. At some point you have to earn a living. If you care so little about something, that you aren't willing to even make a minimal effort, why should society go to the effort of keeping other people from copying your work? There are plenty of ebook stores out there to use and most aren't going to charge you to make your work available.
