My bad, I should have written Amazon's TOS
and copyright law - as they relate to lending of ebooks. I'm perfectly fine with not being legally able to upload my books to TPB or wherever. I'm also perfectly fine with not being able to copy them a hundred times and mailing a copy to everyone I know. What I'm in no way fine with is being able to neither lend, nor give away books any longer just because they're now in a different medium. As long as copyright law prohibits those actions, which I've legally enjoyed for decades, I'll happily ignore and break the law.
