So How do you sell an eBook without having any access to it after the sale?
That I still have access to those books is not indication that I've done anything illegal with them. Ebook stores should be willing to remove titles from a download library on request--or transfer them to a different person's account.

If I sell my house, and the construction company keeps sending me new sets of keys, that's not my problem. Doesn't mean I can't sell the house. If I use those keys, I'm guilty of trespassing--but having potential access isn't the same as breaking the law.
