Copyright on ebooks is very similar of that to normal books; you can make personal copies for yourself (this includes printing it or copying the file to a device you use for personal use). You can lend it out or sell it but only if you have deleted the ebook from all of you electronic devices and destroyed every printout you made. Ebooks typically use DRM restrictions to limit copying, printing, and sharing of e-books. E-books are usually limited to a certain number of reading devices and some e-publishers prevent any copying or printing.
