And no way to ensure that the "original" (a ludicrous concept with it comes to digital files) is removed from your device, nor that you just don't sell "your file" to many people.

If you want "first buyer" (or whatever it's called), then there has to be some physical form that can't be readily copied.

Example:

I buy an ebook, then print out a copy of the book, then destroy the ebook. I then donate the printed book to the library, would that be acceptable to you?

Why or why not?
