That's definitely not legit. What libraries offer is not only legal, it's important to keep this intact. Publishers have variably been very unreasonable abrogating the first-sale doctrine when it comes to ebook versions. It's a case where I believe in no shade of gray. If I'm led to believe I've bought an ebook, not merely renting it, then I should have the right to give that ebook to a library, school, friend, leave it in an estate to children. And quite a number of publishers deny this doctrine applies to ebooks. Not good. -- Chris Murphy
