Only about 1% of my Kindle ebooks, when I mostly used a Kindle, were bought. A large number were works being proofed and the rest were from Gutenberg, about 95%. The original aim about 10 years ago was to read PD from Gutenberg without paper or laptop and to stop printing proof copies.
Even today about 95% of our calibre library is still PD, due to fibre broadband, more searching etc. It's about x10 bigger. Not a single pirate copy.
I'd still be using Kindle if I'd not discovered Kobo.
Edit:
Privacy about what you read is a life & death, or at least imprisonment, issue for the majority of the world's population.
