What's that capitalist moniker: adapt or die. When we pay for a good, be it digital or physical, we want possession and ownership of that good. When your class of people demand 'licenses to read' instead of the actual ownership of the book, you can shove it. I would rather pay pirates to get actual non-DRM books than buy the temporary permission to view., especially since the eBook is more expensive. I will buy physical books, drm-free books, and pirate. I'm not paying hard earned money for a temporary license. If your publishers and authors can't understand first sale doctrine and actual ownership, then you can close up shop and quit.
