FYI: The company I work for does e-books in a fairly niche market and while we do have DRM, we have mechanisms in place to transfer ownership relatively painlessly. The fact that Amazon etc don't make that simple is not per se intrinsic to e-books.

That actually sounds very good. A relatively easy transfer-of-ownership thing is what's missing for me in the ebook world. It would allow ebooks to be part of small office-based libraries, or lent between friends, these are good things.
