Ahaha, I hope it is, but I looked at it again this morning and felt frustrated that I hadn't managed to get round to saying what I wanted to say! Oh well.
(I kept some books checked out of my university library for years because I couldn't afford to buy them and no one else wanted to check them out)
I am doing exactly this, at the moment!
Agreed, anyway. I can see some point in the distinction as applied to someone who distributes ebooks, meaning those who distribute them to hundreds of people (there are people who maybe just send a PDF to a friend or two, which is different, to my mind).
I am equally concerned about expiring ebooks, etc. I already own one ereading device, and will own another, but if that comes in, I'll hie me back to paper books. Ebooks are supposed to be more convenient, not less.
