I don't disagree; I just want to know what studies have been done about how many times books are read per payment, because it seems a lot of the "oh noes piracy!!!" complaints are based on the premise that most books are read once, and then discarded/destroyed, rather than handed off, so there's no need to come up with a simple & legal way to transfer ownership of ebooks.
