You have a STRANGE view of ebooks. *I* have found that I get many, many, MANY uses of each ebook I've purchased.
Just which ebook reading system do you use that you are not allowed to use the ebook more than once?

P.S. I often share my ebooks with my mother by the simple expedient of putting it on my second Cybook Gen3 - both of which are registered with Mobipocket, Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard.
