With a paper book, you're buying the book itself. But with an eBook, you're only buying the license to be permitted to read the book. They can literally revoke it at any time for any reason whatsoever with no recourse, or put DRM on it that depending on the region you might not be allowed to legally strip.
If a publisher sold you a paper book, but said "we can magically teleport it away at any time, sucks to be you" that wouldn't be acceptable to sell that at the same price as a non-magically-teleporting book. but when it's a digital form it is acceptable?
