the whole issue of copying a book is a bit different than music or software.
It has always been relatively easy to make a 'backup' copy of software and music, as as such, there are "paper" laws written to take that into account. I'm not aware of any such exception made for a book (or magazine) to have a backup copy... probably due to the lack of any convenient method of doing so for the average person.
Like the Music industy, the print industry will have the same concerns with regards to electronic 'backups' or electronic versions of their product. There has been many attempts to break into this medium, but there isn't as much demand for it... apparently the few of us left that actually read, prefer hardcopy. As such there isn't as much corporate frenzy about the issue.
This will probably become an issue once the tabletPC or some such device gets more popular and saturates the home markets... We PDA users are probably still viewed as a fringe market of Ubergeeks and toy mongers... but one day...
