But I can do that with my DRM ebook and regularly do.
Its why for me the cost is pretty good for my money with the ebook I am in effect getting 5 copies so all of my fam,ily can read the same book at the same time.
Can you do that with your hard copy? can you make a backup of your hard copy in case it gets lost? etc
the fact is both have restrictions and different restrictions suit different people.
but an Ebook imo is no more restrivted than a hardcopy.
