In the used book stores I know, the only thing you can do with Harlequin Romances is exchange them for other Harlequin Romances. They have no cash value.

Tomorrow, the proposal is:
Reader spend $300+ to buy an eBook reader.
Reader spends almost full price for the eBook version, then throws them away.
Reader cannot buy the eBooks used. Reader cannot trade them in.
Doesn't seem like Harlequin "gets" anything.

So why should
any publisher issue ebook versions given that assumption?
