You're saying it'd be just fine to give an ebook (movie, album, software program) to someone else, as long as you deleted it as part of the transfer. This is do-able. Difficult, because computers make it easy to copy data (it's what they do), and harder to remove it, especially removing all traces of it. But it's possible to do this.
This is exactly the description of the SD card design. The S in SD card means Secure and the design was supposed to permit you play the card but not make copies of the card and then the card could be loaned to anyone.
