Just because you can break a law does not mean you are guilty of breaking it. Yes, if you do download another copy for your own use after you have sold it, then it would be a problem. But the potential for that to happen does not mean anyone is violating copyright.

Besides, all it would take to get rid of the potential for infringement would be to ask Mobipocket (or whoever) to remove the eBook from your download list. That has nothing to do with the legality though, just a house cleaning thing on your account.
