It isn't unreasonable at all with a digital purchase, because of the practical difficulty of transferring ownership. eBooks are not alone in not being transferrable - it applies to pretty much all "download" sales. You can't transfer ownership of a tune you download from iTunes, or of a game that you download to your X-Box. Everybody knows and accept that this is so. If you don't like it, don't make digital purchases.
