It's actually quite an apt analogy. As stated, there are indeed many software licenses which impose quite strict restrictions on what can be done with the software. Eg as someone else has pointed out, the "Home" edition of Microsoft Office prohibits its use for any commercial purpose. Comparing that to an ebook licence which only allows the book to be lent 26 times is quite appropriate.
