Buying a book doesn't give you any more rights or privileges that buying a dvd. Although I guess it's a lot easier to take a book and give all your favorite people a portion of it. You're paying for the physical object and have a license to read it or view it, but not to copy it (other than what fair use provides). Many books have an explicit statement of this on the copyright page.
