I can't lend them. I cannot sell them. I can not donate them.

Even a USED paperback has residual value after I have read it.
To play devil's advocate for a second

With eBooks, I can take all my books with me wherever I go. I can read the same book on an iPad at home, my iPhone on the train, and my computer at work, and it remembers where I left off reading last. I can adjust the typefaces depending on my mood and eye strain, can read in the dark without a nightlight. Plus, my wife, my son, and I can all read the same new book at the same time

All of these features make an eBook more valuable to me than a used paperback.
