You may not be. I, however, am completely satisfied that I bought an ebook. What they may have intended to
sell me is of very little consequence once the merchandise is in my hands—possession being nine-tenths and all. And
because I took the time to research what I was getting myself into, I have no need to worry about companies going out of business or credit cards expiring, or technology/formats changing. If I couldn't have satisfied my own personal sense of "ownership," I would have stuck to traditional print-books—something anyone unsatisfied with the state of ebook "ownership" is always free to do. Know what you're paying for and you can never be taken.
