OK, you're right and I think part of the problem is that I'm new to ebooks and ereaders. I assumed that most other stores are not as restrictive as Amazon, but I think I'm wrong....
But, when I search for books on Calibre, I see some as having DRM, but others do not. Presumably, even though I can't go copy and re-sell those DRM free versions (just like I can't with a real book), I at the very least know that Amazon will not delete the content from my eReader or let some third party know what I've been reading. Maybe I can go and give them to someone I care about as a gift, knowing that I'm not becoming a criminal.
