I am OK with no right to sell and limited rights to share - IF the price reflected those limitations. Personally, I think an eBook with these restrictions should be priced like a used paperback of the same title. $9.99, in my opinion, does NOT reflect these restrictions - nor the limitations of pictures, maps, graphics etc. on some of the eReaders and eBook formats.

If the publishing industry wants to get "full" price for eBooks, then they need to find a way to facilitate lending and re-selling - just like paper books.

The other thing they need to do is solve this Geographic "issue". It is their problem, not mine. Why should Barnes and Noble restrict me from buying an eBook while I am in Mexico? There are no book stores within a 4 hour drive that have any significant selection of books in English. Nor will there be - there is not a sufficient market to develop. For eBooks, I just need to VPN to the USA to bypass. For paper books I simply need to get them to the border and the next person coming through delivers.

What do these DRM and Geographic issues accomplish? Making customers unhappy is not beneficial.

Think about it. Price versus rights. Make it cheap enough compared to paper books and I don't care.
