There are always other alternatives to pointing your fingers and automatically assuming piracy
1. Thousand of free ebooks to download - is that ilegal
2. I own a secondhand book shop and have spent ten of thousands of hours scanning books in a HUGE scanner that accepts thousands of pages at a time before Amazon and the likes came along and before ebooks were being sold online
3. I own a bookshop and therefore have the right to store digital copies of those books for backup\insurance purposes but haven't got tens of thousands of hours to scan all my books in my collection so I have scanned some and downloaded others from other sources
4. I am the owner of a publishing house and have 100,000's of books but no f'ing software to effectively manage all my books so I use Calibre instead
5. I have a shop and buy all my books in ebook format from legitimate sources and offer books to my customers in ebook format with the option to print if a customer wants a hardcopy.
6. None of your business your just jealous
