No, because that's where article 16b, sub 2 applies, and you may only copy a small portion of the work, unless “it may reasonably assumed that no new copies will be made available to third parties for payment of any kind”.

Actually, the book industry seems to be going through exactly the same motions/making the same mistakes the record industry did some years ago. E-books are the new mp3s. Vendor/device lock-in, high price-points, not making buying your product through legit channels so easy that pirating the stuff isn't worth it…
