Millions of people want to watch Paul Blart 2 but only a few hundred want to read Advanced Thermodynamics, Professor McDouche, 39th Edition (USA version).
A cursory startpage search gave me Ebook Bay and this article on free ebooks. Are you lokking for niche books @rhinoferson

There are not very many people who will take the time to scan and uploaded a textbook. Uploading a movie just takes a few minutes.

Most classes books are highly unnecessary...

For most people, the only time they care about textbooks is for four to eight years of their lives. They then stop caring about education, and their piracy interests recenter on consumer media. The piracy market and leaching/seeding habits have adjusted to serve these needs.
If you want to talk about things that are hard to find, go one step beyond textbooks and try finding pirated scholarly articles. I'd rather the Internet had scientific journals for free and you had to pay to watch the latest Avengers film. Can you imagine the citations and quality on something like Wikipedia if everyone had access to peer reviewed information?
