I just want to point out that there are libraries full of physical books that you can also get for a significant amount of time and you don't have to pay for them. And of the library doesn't have the book you want, they can probably get it for you from another library.
(They also often offer ebooks and audiobooks, but that's another issue.)
Unless you want to keep the book with you, one of the nice things about paper books is that you don't have to pirate them and you can get far more obscure titles than you'd probably ever find on a pirate site.
I'm not criticizing you for pirating books, I totally get it, I'm just very pro-library.
