We can intellectualize and rationalize downloading ebooks (or any other form of electronic media) for free until the cows grow weary and make their way home, but the bottom line is, unless the author or publisher is giving it away at no charge, doing so is theft (unless, as others have already indicated, one is scanning previously purchased copies).
With that said, I would give my left foot for a copy of Balano’s 2666 – I received the hardcover (along with a Kindle) as a Christmas gift, but I’m a bit too enamored with reading on my Kindle to crack its substantial spine.
