Ethically, there is no problem whatsoever other than the fact that they are restricting your rights unfairly.
If the book is only licensed, then why do they call it "buying"? Most people are not aware that you only bought a license. Therefore, I call this "licensing" illegal, since very few people would actually buy an ebook that was only "licensed", and I will happily do anything I want with my property short of duplicating said property and redistributing it.
