Thanks!

The 4th paragraph copyright page addresses copyright law, which is very very different from sale-vs.-license.

But is the sale-vs-license issue relevant here at all? Neither way changes what permissions, or 'license', you have regarding the copyrighted material, which is, I thought, what this is about.
We're not talking about whether or not you could, say, legally give your ebooks away to someone else or something like that where sale-vs-license would be relevant.

He gets it right, too, except for the trailing " ...just as your ebook LICENSE does" which is irrelevant.

Why? The relevance, as I see it, is that just as you can buy a paper book, it's copyright law that governs what you can do with it's content, and the same applies to the ebook.
Perhaps I am inadvertently adding to the confusion when I refer to the permissions granted to you by the copyright owner as 'license."
While it's certainly a correct term in the dictionary sense, never meant to equate it with the EULA you may or may not be buying when you buy or maybe-not-really-buy the object.
So I'll try to remember to use the term "permission" instead.
