Yet another definitive statement in need of amendment.
I've checked my Kobo Aus account and that also has a 'Delete' option for books that have been purchased from them.

It seems to me that as there is provision by a number of e book sellers to delete a title, that the on forwarding of that title to another to read is not compromised by the inability to then delete the title from the originator's account - thus eliminating the rationale that the book exists in more than 1 copy by the original purchaser. (I am stating that the person must also delete the book in all and any other soft form.)

This practice would seem to mimic what occurs when a paper book is given to someone else.
