Actually, there are
not treating ebooks the same as every other format of books. Every other format, I can sell and give away. And the publisher isn't able to take the book back from me once I bought it. An ebook I can't sell, can't give away and if it fancies the publisher, they could remove all copies from my bookshelf.
If they would treat an ebook the same as pocket, hardcover, or any other format, it would not have DRM, it would not have that agreement that I won't sell or give away the book and they would never be allowed to enter my bookshelf.
