If Amazon sold physical books like e-books

Every book comes with a case that has a lock. The book is unlocked using their key each time you want to read. The lock can be easily broken with a hammer or just a rock. But doing so will land you in prison for 5 years, so nobody does that in public.

If somebody else breaks their book using your hammer, that's also your offense.

But Amazon can legally break the lock on your house and "remove" the book if they feel the need to do so.

@njoseph Someone else can read your book, but only if you temporarily lend them your entire library.
