I would say no, but some of that is how I define piracy. Some people define piracy much more broadly than I do. I would say that I find that using this method to get an ebook for free, if it is available in a regular ebook store for a competitive price, to be a bit unethical. I don't necessarily think that it's unethical to use this method to get an ebook if it isn't available via normal means. So basically, I consider it unethical to use such means to avoid paying for the ebook, rather than using such means to fill out your collection of a series, if that makes sense.
But then again, my position on ebooks and copyright is that I have an ethical obligation to pay a fair market price for ebook that I want, but the flip side is the copyright holder has an equal ethical obligation to make sure that the work is available.
