Exactly! My only ebook "piracy" ever was when I was in an online RPG based on an author's book series, back in college. I owned all the books in physical copy, and most were bought new (a luxury for me in college, when I had no money). But I also wanted an electronic version so that I could search for certain terms when trying to resolve a canon question. Since the ebooks were not at that time available legitimately anywhere, I did download them, without much qualm. But that was a case where I probably would have paid for a bundle.

And yeah, that's exactly it. I bring my Kindle with me on trips, and I tuck it into my bag in case I want something to read if I have an unexpected delay. But I like having a paper copy so that I can read it in the bath, lend it to friends, etc. Being able to switch between the two would make me a very happy camper.
