I think the point some people are missing is this: The TOS literally means nothing. Private companies do not decide what rights you do or don’t have. The TOS could specify that any ebook sold by them must be read while wearing a purple shirt, on a windy day, while eating a ham sandwich. Failure to do this is against the TOS. It means nothing, even if you checked the “I Agree” box.
As for the property issue, the book is the same whether you read it on a piece of paper or a piece of glass. If you bought it you own it. I find it disturbing that this is lost on so many.
The “Hornet’s Nest” for me is the fact that a company can take away property that you own without due process of law. They simply should not have the ability to do this, period.
