Which I am pretty sure is handled by different laws and licenses. But, part of the assumption is that if you sell a paper book, you no longer have access to it. For an ebook, it is easy to keep a copy and could be hard to prove you didn't. And it might even be hard to get rid of all copies depending on your backup strategy.
