I exclusively buy physical books and then pirate the ebook. If I'm going to own a book, I'm going to OWN the book. Reading on a proper e-ink device is just too nice to give up, though.

But then you use a service (reading a digital version) which you did not pay for. You only paid for the paper version.

That's morally acceptable for me and probably for the GP.
