Those three sets of things together to into making a value vs cost determination.

Absolutely. (Although "no actual ownership" is a red-herring that reduces in the equation to exactly the same thing as "restricted ability to lend, no ability to resell.")
So we agree on that, but you still maintain to support Sregener's claim that only a minority weigh the whole middle part of that determination heavily?
I certainly see no evidence of that, and lots of evidence against it.
On the flip side, I have seen evidence, however, that those who weight the last part- the negative aspects- heavily are a minority.
And I notice that you didn't, in your list of factors, say "Price OF EBOOK AS COMPARED TO PAPER" which is the only element of price as a factor that I've ever questioned.
I've never made the argument that price wasn't a factor, speaking of strawmen.
