Your argument doesn't really make any sense. I could have simply made a copy of the paper book before selling it/passing it on.

An ebook can remain 1 file, not duplicated by that person, the same as a dtb could. They are both bought at one point, altered either by stripping/conversion or by bending the spine or marking the pages, and can be passed on for free. A dtb can be passed around as long as the book life, which considering there are still writings from thousands of years ago, could even be seen as longer than an ebook life seems feasible.
