Explain to us how a person owning a book via amazon and that fact being denoted on GR makes it unclear that they own the book.

Yes there are other vendors, but I didn’t exclude them for the sake of excluding them. It’s just unlikely that GR/Amazon would allow the linking of various accounts.

Anyway the suggestion does what I said it does, unless you can show that having purchased a book from Amazon creates a wholly unique transaction in which the buyer exchanges funds for nothing at all.
