Says who? It's a digital world, in which content is demanded to be free.
I've seen the stuff depicted in this cartoon very often:

Shelling out hundreds or even €2000+ for a huge gaming system, and then surfing the pirate sites to find the €50 game for which it was built for free. (And the €89 operating system that has to run the system for 5 years as well, of course.)
And then people complain about crashes, unreliable operating systems, viruses, malware.... and so on.
It stands to reason that there will be people who shell out €129-299 for an e-reader with the thought to 'earn it back' by pirating the e-books.
