Actually, courts have overturned stipulations exactly like those of eBooks before. As pilotbob said, first-sale doctrine trumps any contract/license at the time of sale, whether it is concealed or not. Companies can not take your rights away as a stipulation of a sale. They can make any claim along those lines that they want to, but it won't hold up.
