But for these things paper books are also restricted. i.e. It is difficult and expensive to make a copy of a paper book for you friends (and illegal) and library books have to be returned.
As to reading inside the store. This is not for purchased books, it is to provide a way to browse books you are considering to purchase although it might be possible to read the whole book what standing in the aisle I suppose.

I understand what you are saying, but what offends me, is the restriction on what device I have to read my purchase on, or which App. I don't strip the DRM to do anything illegal with the book I purchased; I just wish to read it in the manner of my own choosing.
