True, it's no one's idea of optimal, but I've also read on many threads here - and I feel this way myself - that a pdf is better than no ebook at all. I've read plenty of them on my 505. My options (as I see them) in order of preference when I want a book are as follows:

1. purchase non-DRM'd ebook
2. purchase DRM'd ebook
3. darknet pdf
4. borrow p-book

Purchasing a p-book doesn't even make the list - much less purchasing a hardback.

Bottom line: if anyone wants my money for a book, they have to make an ebook available.
