And this is why copyright laws needs to be modernized.
One such requirement beeing that if you want to transfer an eBook to someone you should be able to do so, as long as it is done in accordance with traditional transfer methods, ie. you don't maintain a copy on a retailer's server, in the cloud or on your computer (USB stick, MicroSD card etc).
Yes, I too can see that there are practical limitations to this, but a start would be for the law to require digital retailers to offer that ability.
My sister recently got herself an iPad and she is going gaga over it right now. I showed her how to install the Kindle app and how to buy books online. I have some 100 finished Kindle books and I know she would enjoy some 30 or 40 of those, but I can't legally give them to her. That just doesn't make sense.
