Go to http://www.borders.com/online/store/...sku=1439192596 and have a look. You will see that the link says buy now & download. It does not say purchase a license. It does not say rent the eBook. It says BUY and when I buy something, I own it.

I do not think the above quote from Borders is actually legal. They hide the EULA very well. I've not read the entire thing. But, I've bought eBooks from Borders before reading any of that. So I never actually agreed to it. They never made it so I have to read it. So if this really isn't legal, then the entire EULA is not legal and cannot be enforced.
