Because individual books are smaller than a torrent slice.
Providing torrents of authors, publications or similar? That could work, except they’d have to keep rebuilding the torrents for current works (see the issue with archive.org and torrents).
Also, aa to end user is relatively private; aa to torrent to end users is very NOT private.
They’d do better just storing the archive in I2P.

I don't think that's a limitation. MAM shares books as torrents and it's no issue.
That explains, thanks.
It's actually not that hard to figure-out which file in the torrent they give you is the one book you want, by which I mean, I don't recall exactly how, but my dumb-ass figured it out and did it a few times.
If you didn't know, you don't have to download and seed every file in a given torrent. In fact, a lot of torrents seem "broken" because .nfo's, .txt's, Extras and/or Samples aren't being seeded.
Not privacy-related. You might want to visit c/piracy
my mistake, thanks
They don't host them.
