You can't return an opened CD back to the store. eBooks don't come in physical form, which is why they are not the same as CD's and DVD's.
You can make the argument that CD's are so easily copied that their form might as well be electronic. To wit - the sales of CD's have plummeted because people can buy a CD, rip it, give copies to all of their friends, and sell the used CD.
