Nice that they're actually buying them this time instead of just downloading torrents of book collections again.

    I imagine they already burned through literally all of the torrentable books

    Far from it. I think you vastly underestimate how many books have been published, and in what small quantities.

    Estimates are around 15% of books is digitised, and less than a third of that is searchable. I’m guessing a small fraction of that is torrentable (yes that’s a word I just made up).
