If you're referring to downloading copyrighted books... there are a few reasons.

1. You can't "play" books easily on a screen. Most people prefer to read on a nice chair, book in hand.

2. Its a long process to scan a book in digitally (without very specialized equipment anyways).

3. Books are cheap. Why get a pirated copy of some bestseller when you can buy an actual used paperback for 50 cents?

4. And oh... its illegal.

ibsen, there is a big difference between works that are in the public domain and works that are legally protected by U.S. and International copyright laws :)
