Quite frankly, I no longer care what the supposed contract says. I have shelled out my money for the ebook, it now belongs to me. (Full price for poorly formatted & edited books to boot!)
I don't lend out my books & I don't sell them either. As far as leaving my collection to someone else, I won't be here so I don't care what they do with them. I don't see books as valuable items as far as money goes, since I keep them. Not everything has to have a price.
I very seldom get rid of any of my books, but if I had some that I was no longer interested in reading, I would ask some friends if they were interested in them. If they said yes then they would get the books.
What publishers want us to do is keep buying our books over & over again. It ain't going to happen! At least not with me.
