Yes, and then you may access the ebooks by buying another of our devices to read them on, as you will be unable to read them on any other device.
Of course they're saying this. They want you to stay as a customer. It will still have to hold up in court. (And I doubt they'll be able to make the argument that "book licenses" are something customers are supposed to accept as an inevitable, necessary part of progress).
There's a little bit too much vested interest talking here.
