True. Which is why I often refer to "utility" rather than rights.

Ebooks of course have numerous benefits over paper books. They don't degrade with time; they don't occupy any significant amount of physical storage space; they are searchable, etc etc. There seems to be a tendency to concentrate on the negatives of ebooks while ignoring their many benefits.
