It is just too much effort to go further to a used book shop, stand there while the guy goes through them and gives me less than 25% of what I paid for them.<br /><br />Obviously with digital things are different, and if the book is not resellable the price should be much lower. So Amazon are looking at an alternative of effectively buying back your book, but allowing them to justify not buying it back when demand is not high. I expect we will see all sorts of options like read once books, unlimited read books and transferrable books.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-9101877413053502682013-03-12T04:39:19.940+00:002013-03-12T04:39:19.940+00:00Maybe there is some small benefit to end users her...Maybe there is some small benefit to end users here. Who really needs to <b>own</b> an ebook? One read, and it's done, never to be read again. This wouldn't be so bad if the price to read it were $2. But it's not, and that is a problem.<br /><br />I gave up buying books 4 years ago, when I discovered that the local library carried a whole lot of books, they cost me nothing, and the library even stored them for me.<br /><br />On the other hand, will reusing digital rights screw authors and prevent them from being creative?
