That's still slower than, if my grandfather mentions a book he thinks I'll like, my going online, finding the book in 20 seconds, downloading a sample chapter within a minute, and potentially buying the book to read if I like that chapter. Furthermore, speaking as somebody who loves stuffing himself on torrents: it's very hard to find specific books on ThePirateBay, depending on your tastes. You can't download, say, Finnegans Wake, which I just searched for. All they have is the audiobook.
