Just wondering for all the people who say ebooks are not transferable, what do you think about this scenario?

Let's say you have a device and you sell it. For example, I had an eBookwise and it has some books on it that can ONLY be read on that one machine due to the sucky DRM (there were two books I bought before I realized this) I sold the eBookwise and left the books on there. Fair? No chance I kept a copy because they are not readable on anything but that machine...

Another scenario. Let's say you have an account at Fictionwise, and you use it to buy books for a certain device. Then you sell the device and no longer read ebooks. Meanwhile, your friend starts reading ebooks. Is it fair for you to turn over your password to her and let her have your books? How about if after you do this, she changes the password and you can't access the account anymore anyway?

I think both of these scenarios should be fair. And I think Fictionwise should give you an option to transfer books to another Fictionwise account. For example my sister never uses her account anymore, so I think she should be able to transfer the ebooks to my account if she wanted to.
