As long as the desired book is not available for the particular ereader, you are using, you are not guilty, if you get it from somewhere else, because you have no other choice. I think the publishing industry is for us and not we are for them. They have to comply with our needs first, because we are the customers, I guess.

Right. The old ideas of "the customer is always right" has gone by the wayside. The idea that the Content Cartel works by is "The customer will want what we tell them they want" and it isn't working.
The reason eBook piracy is out there is the same reason that music piracy is there: the industry refuses to listen to the customers and change their business models to satisfy the market that exists.
