Perhaps if ebooks could be licensed (tied) to a single device only then many problems would go away.

Or better yet a time bomb similiar to what ADE has for library books. You can read the book forever if you still own it but must renew your license after a certain time.
You could sell the book but must reregister it to new owner so when yours expires it is done.
If you have lent it to your bud who hasn't finished reading it then too bad.

Like any protection it can be overcome, but if it was fair to buyers most wouldn't.
