I don't know of any.  I said "many" because (a) I wasn't specifically 
referring to Adobe ebooks, and (b) I'm a pedant and I don't know for a fact 
that there aren't any Adobe ebook stores that tell you the permissions in 
advance.  I don't care for the Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader, regardless of 
the content, so I haven't looked into it very much.
