It's the "not keeping a copy for yourself" that is the sticky part. You licensed the right to read it on your own devices. You did not license the right to reproduce and distribute it, and if you sold a copy while keeping one for yourself, you would be doing so.
You missed the point.

They never explicitly said any of this.

All the wording on their site said that I purchased an eBook, no differently than if I had purchased a pBook on Amazon.com. The expectation that I would have as a purchaser would be that I could do anything with that eBook that I could do with a pBook.

There was no license anywhere that I could find. At the very least, to claim that I was bound by a license, there should be something that I agree to when I check out and a license that I could read. There was none.
