I was referring to paper books. I've bought ebook PDFs with the intent of printing a single copy and sharing that; I haven't bought ebooks with the intent of handing out digital copies or running off multiple prints, except where that's specifically permitted. (A handful of indie gaming authors have the mindset of, "if you bought it, we want you to play it with your group. If that means printing 3 copies in order to get them interested, go for it!")
