You say technically I "shouldn't have a book on such a PC"...is there some alternative way of doing things that I completely missed somewhere that wouldn't make any copies whatsoever, besides switching to a Kindle?
I would dispute that you've broken the law; you're entitled to make as many copies of the book for your personal use as you wish, and, indeed, such copying is inherent in the use of an eBook. Those are authorised copies.
