As I indicated in my earlier post, there are very substantial savings just in the difference between print and ebook prices, if of course you avoid the overpriced agency books. And, as you point out, those who hoist the Jolly Roger save even more. However, it seems that most people choose to pay for their books. At least enough of them to sustain a thriving market. There would still be books even if everyone pirated them, but the standard would very likely be much lower and the choice much more restricted. Morality apart, it makes sense to pay for your ebooks, or at least most of them.
