Why? It's not as if you are purchasing the ideas contained within the text. You are merely renting them. If you leave an ebook on your ereader for a year, and suddenly the ideas contained in the ebook become more valuable, why shouldn't you have to pay the creator more for the ideas if you ever decide to read them?
For instance,
Amanda Hocking's novels
If we were "legally" able to sell ebooks we purchased, then we could have bought multiple copies of her book for 99 cents and then resold it later on when she decided to raise the price to eight dollars. In other words, by lending a book that has had its price increased you are stealing from the creator yes?

Finding the e-books too expensive is a reason not to buy the book, but not to pirate it.

At least we are getting somewhere. I like to think I live in my own geo-restriction where nothing is ever sold...
