The issue in Canada is that you are buying a license to read on your device and not actually buying the book. Reselling that license is a different argument than reselling a physical paper book. In this case the site is only allowing DRM-free ones, but I'm not sure how that relates to if it is a license you are buying or not.
I'm not sure about the stripping of DRM point made above. I would be curious if the law is stating that it is allowing the stripping of DRM for sharing amongst an 'owner's' devices or if it is allowing more than that.
