They are, or at least were, for the most part scans of pbooks. I've noticed a lot more cracked ebooks lately (mostly Amazon from what people are claiming). There's a small push toward ePub as the distribution format for shared copies, but I haven't seen any official rules nominating that as the standard for sharing.

EDIT: it seems a lot more 'claimed to be ripped from Amazon' since the whole kindle-on-itouch thing came out. No hard stats on this, just an observation.
