I have considered it, in fact. And no, I wouldn't buy from them either in that case.

(In fact that's what I do when I download an ebook from my public library, although here it's not a question of "ownership", but of not being able to read it on certain e-readers or with certain reading software unless I remove the DRM).

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't read library books.

Well, I wouldn't have to go back to paper books, even if I stopped buying anything today. As I said, my TBR list is already several kilometers long (and those are books already purchased, disinfected and backed up).
