E-book restrictions leave 'buyers' with few rights - Los Angeles Times

I agree with Michael Hiltzik.  There needs to be some serious revisions to our laws to protect both the owners of copyrights and the users of e-book readers.

E-book restrictions leave 'buyers' with few rights - Los Angeles Times:

In general, it seems to me that the price of e-books is much higher than the economic value.  If we bought a paperback, it probably gets read by 5 or 10 readers before it is destroyed.  An e-book, because of the way it is sold, gets read by only one or two people at the most.  Therefore, it should sell for 2 to 4 dollars, instead of 10 to 30 dollars.

Also interesting mention about Calibre e-book management software.
