You forget, Mysweety, that when you take this route you also deprive the author and publisher of any royalty income from what they created. Used book stores are wonderful places, but -- like libraries -- they represent an established and tradition form of piracy.

No offence and best wishes. Neil
Quite right, however traditionally authors rights cover the used market. Also I don't want authors to get my money if they publish with those that apply these restrictions. I guess i can live without them and they without me. But if there are enough of me maybe they'll come to great sites like yours to get published.
