I really can't agree with that argument. IMHO if you buy a book you should be free to read it on any device you own (but not, of course, to give unauthorised copies of it to anyone else).
IIRC, it was you who said that by inference, as was pointed out to you several times. You obstinately refused to acknowledge your own hypocrisy.

No one else thinks you should buy a copy for each device, we just want to know why YOU don't think so... taking into account your OTHER beliefs.
