Well, that’s one of the benefits of dead tree, isn’t it – you can sell them again afterwards. or give them away, of will them away, or lend them and never get them back, or eat them, wipe your ass with the pages, burn them (I have actually burnt some books in my time – dangerously outdated technical manuals for example) etc.

Try any of those with an e-book. And never once has Amazon disappeared one of my paper books while I was trying to read it. 😉

Even if you get not much back for a second sale, it’s still *some* money, no?
