Of course the morally corrupt can only sell the CD once, used ebooks can be sold ad infinitum.
Unless some kind of online database of all books sold and current ownership is produced (Or you get a physical owner tag of some kind like with a CD) there is nothing to stop 1 person buying an ebook then undercutting the publisher and selling the used ebook a few hundred thousand times.
