Did anyone say anything about giving everyone else in the world a copy? With an Amazon book at least one could remove the book from each of your devices freeing all licenses, then tell Amazon you want to transfer the license to someone else. True if you kept a backup copy you could sideload that copy for the life of your current device but electronics die eventually and you wouldn't be able to use it on a new device. A used market for ebooks is possible. Just not likely to be implimented. If publishers could they would do away with used (paper) bookstores and libraries also.
