FYI my comments are restricted the PDF floating around of the
recommended UNIX and Linux System Admin book. 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.
