By that definition, I don't buy books either, but that turns out not to
be the case.
You can buy a book (i.e. hardware consisting of paper and ink), but you
can't buy the novel that it contains (the author will not assign
copyright to you).
Incidenally, UK publishers do, or at least did, put constraints on the
resale of books (not to be sold or lent in any cover other than the
original).
