Dear Christopher,

CRM> There are certainly problems with that argument; in particular, as Alex and 
CRM> Vladmir K. have pointed out here, the terms of use for many ebooks isn't 
CRM> known in advance; Dmitry's lawyer pointed this out at the session.  But 
CRM> that, itself, is something consumers can vote against by refusing to buy an 
CRM> ebook with unknown terms.

If you or anybody else can point me to ANY eBook store with exact
terms of use are known before purchase (I mean eBook in Adobe eBook Reader
format) - please let me know as soon as possible! I mean that before
buying the book I would like to know about all features like:

Printing - Enabled
Landing - Disabled
Read aloud - Enabled
etc..

In worst case - it will be OK if you can point me to any on-line store,
which provides money back for eBook (so I'll be able to buy book,
look on the limitations, and ask money back if I don't need it).

This is not joke!!! For our investigations we need to found
some number of eBook with pre-defined features - for example with "Read
aloud" option enabled only (and all other features disabled). And I
already spend hundreds or thousands dollars while buying different
eBooks on different on-line shops - with no results (and no money
back).

So please let me know if you'll surprisingly found what I need!!!!

Good luck ;-)
