Everything that you're talking about implies a physical medium. I already bought the "content" of a book, and as digital copies do not cost anything to distribute, I should be able to attain it free of charge.
Additionally, the ebook I downloaded isn't being sold anywhere, and it's likely that someone simply typed up the novel. They were giving away their work for free (they people who typed up the novel), so the only part left that I would be obligated to purchase would be the content of the book....which I have already done.
