You are still buying a copy of a book when you buy it in digital form. Unlike movies and music, where you are just licensing it.

It would be interesting to calculate how many time you could read an e-book before you matched the energy that is used in making the paper for a printed book. Then you have the energy used to make the ink. And I could probably read e-books the rest of my life before I used up the energy that goes into printing a paper book.
