Well, it seems reasonable to bring fair usage into it. But then, if it is fair that I can loan or give or sell a copyrighted pBook to somebody, it also seems fair to me that I should be able to do the same with my copyrighted eBook, as long as I don't make a copy of it (copyright, yes?). If not, I should pay far less for an eBook than for a paper book, considering that 1) there is no cost of printing, distributing, paper, ink, workmanship, etc other than a negligible amount of storage, bandwidth and website maintenance 2) the eBook has no resale value and 3) I have less rights than I do with a pBook (can't loan, can't give, can't exchange, etc)
