I like to think so, but apparently not everyone holds to the same standard.

I buy from lots of ebook stores, and I don't ever recall being asked to agree to a terms of use agreement before buying ebooks. No ebook store does this for every single purchase (they don't want to give you the chance to cancel the sale). Are you saying that they do this when I sign up for an account at the ebook store? I don't remember ever doing so, but I probably would agree because most such agreements are not worth the time it takes to read them. Corporations will put things in there they know are not legally enforceable just because they can.
Where, for example, would I find the terms of service for Kindle ebooks (not Kindle devices or apps)?
