The Ebook User’s Bill of Rights

Successful indie writers understand that their interests are closely-aligned with the interests of their readers.

The Ebook User’s Bill of Rights was written by a couple of self-described “Badass Librarians.”

Excerpts:

Every eBook user should have the following rights:

• the right to use eBooks under guidelines that favor access over proprietary limitations
• the right to access eBooks on any technological platform, including the hardware and software the user chooses
• the right to annotate, quote passages, print, and share eBook content within the spirit of fair use and copyright
• the right of the first-sale doctrine extended to digital content, allowing the eBook owner the right to retain, archive, share, and re-sell purchased eBooks
