Same as with a real book. I think the limits we're all used to with physical objects seem, in some cases, a bit less onerous than weird, arbitrary ones. "I bought it, I should be able to do what I want with my copy".

I agree-- plus you get the added bonus of being sure you get your book back. That's not something you can take for granted with physical objects.
