I'm afraid I think that you're on very "shaky ground" here. It strikes me as being the same situation as photocopying a paper book, selling someone the photocopy, and trying to "legitimise" that by saying "I promise that I'll keep the original on my bookshelf and will never take it down from there". I may of course be wrong, but it seems to me that the important point is the fact that you still
have access to the original, regardless of whether or not you actually access it.
If you could get the bookstore to remove your access to the book, the case would be definitely be a lot stronger.
