OK, just for complete clarity, here are the complete sequence of emails between me and Kobo customer services.
First question
Spoiler:
Dear Kobo,
A question about terms of use, specifically item 9:
"9. Literary Works.
All literary works at kobobooks.com are the exclusive property of the publisher or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The download of these literary works is intended for Kobo's Registered Users' personal and non-commercial use. Any other use of literary works downloaded from kobobooks.com is strictly prohibited. Registered Users may not modify, transmit, publish, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the content of these literary works, in whole or in part. By downloading literary works from kobobooks.com, the Registered User hereby acknowledges and agrees to these terms."
When I buy a Kobo book, who else am I authorised to allow to read it?
e.g.
Spouse?
Child?
Child at University?
Parent?
Sister-in-law?
Nephew?
Close friend?
Or no-one at all?
regards,
Paul Durrant
