If it helps, my books are not DRM'd even on Amazon. Authors can choose whether they want to do DRM or not. Of course, you'd likely be taking a risk with an indie but I figured why lock it up. If it's good enough for Cory Doctorow I guess I can take the same plunge.

That being said, the original intent of this thread was figuring out how to be reselling authors e-works. BIG NO NO!

If the author isn't getting remunerated for the ebook work, neither should you. Different from a used paper book ebooks do not require you to stock inventory etc. The product never wears out, therefore can be transferred forever. If the book is not DRM protected and the rights listed on the title page say you can distribute it under the GNU Common License then you can give it away, but not sell it without the authors explicit permission.
