This is the reason. Book publishers don’t have the resources to go after pirates the way Hollywood and the music industry do.
Detection - books are far smaller in size
Lawyer cost - the ISP only does it when they get a notice, which is costing someone money. Studios have far more money to work wi… oh, wait, that’s right, studios are going bankrupt from the piracy, so I guess the lawyers for them are pro bono.
Added: some books might have some effort behind them. I would guess Harry Potter books were pursued to some extent, but even at their size it’s a small footprint to look for unless someone isn’t using any effort to conceal what the files are.

Okay tin foil hat time.
Because controlling popular media is an important part of US governance / military recruitment strategy, and they invest a lot of money and effort in getting people to watch the right things at the right time
Only sorta serious, but I really do believe it may be a factor and probably applies to other countries
These days we sure do get a lot of hunger games knockoffs
I have gotten an ISP copyright letter for a book torrent before I was using VPN for torrenting, it happens. Not DMCA though.
