certainly, but really, people want to feel that they at least own something that they paid for and with it the privilege that they can do with it as they please, within reason. like you, i have a few favorites that i've read over five times now, and it's been a joy every time.
although if they do insist on pushing this, why not just issue a "rental" version of ebooks (and a 'rental' price) instead of implementing such a policy across the board? of course, i assumed that the OP meant it as an across the board thing.
@OP: all this greed and paranoia is driving me nuts
it's like Harry said. we've got enough things to worry about
still, well, we live in a capitalist society. businesses want as much profit as possible. that's what my business texts all say
