I think it should be illegal for sellers to say you can "buy" a book when you have not bought it. It's fraud. Call it a rental or something else more honest. If I bought it, then it cannot be taken away, I can give it to someone else as long as I don't retain it, I can use it as many times as I want, and no one monitors my use without my express consent. It's not that rental and leasing is necessarily wrong, but it should be clear to customers that that is what is happening.
