With the greatest respect, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. Eg, look at the "Kindle Store Terms of Use" at Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201014950
Look at item 1, "Use of Kindle Content". It says:
Quote:

Upon your download of Kindle Content and payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes), the Content Provider grants you a non-exclusive right to view, use, and display such Kindle Content an unlimited number of times, solely through a Reading Application or as otherwise permitted as part of the Service, solely on the number of Supported Devices specified in the Kindle Store, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider.

(Emphasis mine)
This makes it absolutely clear that you are buying a licence, does it not?
Really, if people don't take the trouble to learn what it is that they're buying, that's entirely their own responsibility. If I can find these conditions, so can anyone else.
