Weeeeellll, in view of the discussion, I tootled on over to eBay, to see what sort of obscure, etc., texts we might find. What I see are highly, wildly popular books being sold by people that have apparently NO relationship whatsoever to the proper publishers, like M. Obama's new book, and a variety of others. I most certainly don't tend to believe that the person selling that book (in ePUB/MOBI format, amongst others) is an authorized seller. I didn't note any "obscure, hard-to-find" texts, but I freely admit, I wasn't searching for them particularly. I was just looking for eBooks, generally.
So, I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that eBay is abounding with legit books. But that's just my $.02. Obviously, nobody has reported the few sellers that I looked at.
