I would like to install Pillow, but according to the Pillow's documentation, I must remove PIL first, which seems to have come preinstalled in Ubuntu 13.10.
What's the best way to do that?

Try the following:
Completely remove PIL/pillow (2.7 & 3.5):
$ sudo -H pip uninstall pillow
-> Successfully uninstalled Pillow-3.1.2
$ sudo -H pip3 uninstall pillow
-> Cannot uninstall requirement pillow, not installed
Completely remove pip & pip3:
$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
$ /usr/local/bin/pip uninstall pip
$ sudo apt-get remove python-pip
Remove Egg (from easy_install):
Install pip & pip3:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
$ sudo easy_install pip <- Installs to different directory (egg)
$ sudo easy_install pip3 <- Installs to different directory (egg)
Install pillow (2.7 & 3.5):
sudo -H pip3 install pillow
-> Installed Pillow-4.1.1-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
sudo -H pip install pillow
-> Requirement already satisfied
$ sudo easy_install Pillow
