Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't make as much sense to me for a digital file as for a physical book. And I think digital pricing will be low enough that there will be no assumed right to resell something when you've finished with it. It will be a more 'disposable' product and attitude.
I agree. I'd be happy to give up the right to resell ebooks if they were reasonably priced and DRM-free.

Perhaps that's a detail publishers would be interested in – switch to ebooks as there's no second-hand ebook market.
