No, not true at all. Read the copyright page, there's several terms of your license spelled out. Your're not allowed to sell copies of the content or make a movie out the story, for example.
Surely you can understand the idea that different licenses for different things have different terms. The license to have have a copy of, and read the content of, your paperback book applies to the holder of the physical copy, as laid out in copyright law. The license for the content of the ebook form, is not usually transferable. That detail does not change the fact of it's nature.
Once people understand this reality, we can band together to force a change in the licenses terms in our favor.
While people still cry erroneous claims of "ownership", pleas for change are easily dismissed as ignorant ranting.
