[QUOTE=asleyam;3824868If I buy the print version I get to own it. If I buy the ebook I get to borrow it, I don't actually 'own' it. Unless I misunderstand the whole legal thingy of ebook buying.[/QUOTE]
That's really just an illusion. In today's world if you buy an ebook you realistically own it even though you may not legally own it. When I get a book I make a backup and there's no way anyone could ever take it away from me.
Publishers and lawyers tell us that we're just buying licenses to read and that's legally true but it's also meaningless. If I buy it I own it for all practical purposes and they can say whatever they like.
