This is an interesting thought.  However, the fact that you were able to give up the ownership of your paper books doesn&#x27;t mean that you owned them any less than your ebooks.  The opposite is true because it&#x27;s an integral part of ownership that you can give it up or lose it.  Ebooks may be more convenient in some situation but that doesn&#x27;t mean that we have to redefine the meaning of ownership.  Further, I suspect that even Amazon would agree that you technically do not own the ebooks that you &quot;bought&quot; from them.
