Thanks again to you all, and especially to Neil of BeWrite books. I'm going to use a shorter version of the copyright text in his books.
'This ebook is sold on condition that it shall not be lent, resold, hired out, or otherwise circulated without the copyright owner's consent, and without a similar condition being imposed on a subsequent purchaser.'
unless anyone comes up with something better.
This completely sidesteps my original concern about making backup copies for ones personal use, but still maintains the rights of the author.
Regards, Alex
