Still some years away from being an "older woman", but, yeah... I can think of a few reasons why people pirate.

I have a Kindle, but pay much more for Kindle e-books than people in the US. Not nearly all the books that are available to US buyers are available to me, and worst, I keep wanting to buy e-books... and then see that it's cheaper to buy the hardcover than the e-book! Get real...
I only want "officially" released books on my Kindle, but I'm assuming that doesn't count for everybody, and honestly, I cannot disagree with them.
