Huh. Apparently you didn't read that far before you decided it was a good platform for you to launch a attempted chastising finger-wag.

And that despite the direct evidence against in the very words of mine that you quoted right before you went straight into your ~you should be ashamed of yourself; trying to justify what you conveniently want to do as trumping everything that the rights-holder/retail provider says everyone should do with the item in question~ *tsk-tsking*.

Here, I'll quote it again so you can actually read it this time:



Bonus quotage from the follow-up passage which comprise the very last two paragraph at the bottom of my post:



Notice the plurals. Copies. And paid-for extra copies, no less.

And you keep telling everyone to read to the end of that library article and consider things in context before doing jumping to conclusion-based rants...

~Perhaps you should be ashamed of yourself; trying to justify what you conveniently want to do as trumping everything that you say everyone should do with an item in question.~ *tsk-tsk*

In the end, all that's irrelevant to whether Amazon's T & C are more liberal about "sharing" a particular ebook with others than SW's-which was my point. But thanks for leading us around the mulberry bush.
