Even then what is more common is that I am organizing the books in my computer and ebook reader to make them easier to find later (I store books in a top down folder structure where the top level is genre, then author and finally books),
"I don't mind that additional time and effort." != "There is no additional time and effort and/or nobody else minds it either."

Does "To each his/her own" only apply when the savage head of typographic expertise rears its ugly head?

Personally, this whole torrent business suggests a hording mentality. I don't see most of the free sites going anywhere anytime soon, so I see no particular need to download everything I can get my hands on.
That doesn't mean that you wouldn't (save much time) and that there isn't (a need).
