It's just being (I think unfairly) used as a straw man that makes me sad.

I would add another layer to the great points you and Walshe make. In the pbook world, they were by default standardized. That is, since all books were basically ink, paper, and glue, you could do the same things with your book published by Simon & Schuster as you could with your book published by Wiley: read it in the bathtub, loan it to a friend, write in the margins, take it on a trip, etc. The ebook world lacks such standardization, and the openness inherent to such standardization. Now, my rights change depending on whether the ebook I buy is in Kindle eReader, or PDF format. To make it worse, I can only use certain formats on certain devices; it's as if I could only consume my non-rival pudding in an officially-sanctioned Jello bowl. The technology of ebooks is really exciting; I've been expermenting with Stanza on the iPhone and have been greatly enjoying it. However, the rights environment of them scares the hell out of me, both as a librarian and a consumer. Interesting article; thanks for the reference.
