That's interesting. Out of interest I checked ereader.com for any disclaimers and I couldn't find anything where it says that you are forbidden to give/sell legally bought ebooks to other people. It would be a grey area because you would still have access to them on the ereader.com, only one person would be allowed to get it, etc. But the borders between legal/illegal are not as clear as I originally thought they were.

As the DRM is not circumvented or reengineered if you pass on the ebook+hash the DMCA can't get you on those terms. So theoretically you could even sell your books again or give them to friends after you've finished them.

What I find useful is that you could back up all your ebooks with the corresponding hashes and not worry about your old visa numbers. Maybe someone will write small import/export tool that makes this easy. :-)
