I have a large physical book library.

My 3 year old has a large pirated physical book library.

I also have a huge pirated ebook library.

In the future, my child will have a copy.

Times, they are a-changin'.

Could you explain this? Did you steal these from someone?

They are books produced by pirate printing factories whose major business is making duplicates of famous children's books. Quality is great, they are basically indistinguishable from the real thing.

I don't know if I realized such a thing existed. I've seen a few print-on-demand machines in libraries, so I guess I should have guessed, but I have never seen such a thing before.

He read his father's without buying a second "license" himself for each book.
