Ah, but if only we all read EULAs every time we made a purchase....
There is a lot of stuff people put in agreements, even when fully aware that it's not enforceable. mobileread.com can put in their agreement, that if you ever quote a post from here on another forum, you agree, that they can take your house.
Sometimes common sense makes the best sense. If you buy a book, it is yours to use, or give away, that copy, as you see fit.
Electronic delivery, while hopefully reducing costs and thus the price charged of the end-user, should not change this basic premise.
Yeah, distribution is easier, but the printing press was just as big of a change.
