I didn't know that there is a restriction about "reformatting". Now how is the reformatting defined? Using the ebook "as is"?
I use Aldiko which has a setting about formatting: publisher's or Aldiko's.
A tablet and ereader (?) allows one to change the font size which puts the ebook in a different "format"; same with changing the font type. Are users "allowed" to even use the pinch method to increase/decrease the font size? Are the ebooks "format" accounting for the different tablet/ereader sizes?
What if one has an ereader for books and it the ereader is loaned intact to another person to read at one's residence or otherwise. Also illegal according to some if the book is for personal use only for their lifetime!
If the publishers have already condemned all buyers as criminals so why shouldn't we not make them out as liars as they are? If the buyer is paying a penalty for an uncommitted "crime"; why should the buyer honor the restrictions?
