The consumer can buy a digital file, fairly easily break any DRM that exists, make as many copies as they desire, shift to other formats, and read on any device they desire. They can also give some copies away, and in most cases, not be concerned about legal reprisal.
For the record, if they search, they can often obtain the file without paying for it, and still have the same options.
Yes, I'd consider that a much better deal than content producers and sellers get.
