Not a bad system... I wish more paper books did that... I might actually buy more paper books if that were the case.

I should have said watermarked ebooks, not books. I'd prefer not to have to buy paper in order to get electronic version. That would be 160 real books extra in my house. I have been buying ebooks with watermark but not "on condition that". I don't even see where the watermark is, it is not visible at all. Recently I have been choosing mobi file to put directly on K3. Still put ebooks in calibre but for organisation, not disinfection.
