I almost missed your real point there: Bring the price down so the reader won't feel loss from the inability to trade-in books. From Harlequin's perspective, the proposal above may be better than the present system, since they "get" no return from used book resales, but they can profit off of each e-book sale, no matter the amount. But I agree, e-book costs can be reduced since they will replace resales with new e-sales, and ultimately get more sales from each book.
