Very much agree with the reasons but please, you're not renting the books no matter how much it might (sometimes) seem that way. You're buying a license to read them. Theoretically you can even sell the license although few ebook sellers (none that I know of) are set up to handle that. You lose your right to read the books when you violate the license terms.
I will further note that probably not all the terms are legal-but until it's tested in court, who can really say? It's you against the seller-and who has the power? So I fully agree with the reasons, just not with your statement that we're renting our books. Thanks.
