I have noticed, on this site and others, Kindles for sale with the books included. I have also read the technical explanations of how the books don't seem to disappear even if the Whispernet is used. So, it appears that the technology, at least as currently implemented by Amazon, permits books to be sold with a Kindle. My question is not whether the technology will allow it, but whether it's legal.
The Kindle: License Agreement and Terms of Use says, under Restrictions, "You may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, broadcast, sublicense or otherwise assign any rights to the Digital Content or any portion of it to any third party, and you may not remove any proprietary notices..."
In light of this language, how could I sell my Kindle with books included to someone else. I can see how this would not apply to multiple Kindes registered to the same Amazon account or MAYBE even multiple Kindles registered to more than Amazon account held by the same person, but these third party sales of books clearly don't seem to be permitted.
I would welcome thoughts and clarification.
