Go purchase the paper copy of the book so you now have a "license".
Download the darknet version of your choice without the DRM and read at your leisure.

Author and publisher received full compensation, and you have a book you can read on any device at any time at your discretion.

Just don't sell the paper copy of the book unless you intend to delete the e-book at the same time.

Don't loan anyone the e-book unless you loan them the paper copy as well.
How about a free DRMless eBook version with every hardcover/paperback you buy new, at current prices?
