Yes there are still used book stores around. There is also Goodwill which can have an interesting variety of books.
To me the more interesting question is how many sales are they losing. The moral issue of "illegal" downloads etc will be debated far into the future.
I think that the publishers and possibly some authors have an unrealistic view of what pirated ebooks actually cost them.
I imagine that they loose very few sales from them, and actually the pirated copies may help generate sales.
So while I think its a problem I do not believe at this point in time that it is a huge one. That may change one day.
