Excellent point.

Ebooks and pbooks are totally different, but there's just got to be some digital mechanism that can model the used and overstocked book market. You can buy used and overstocks for low prices right down to literally one cent (plus $3.99 shipping) at Amazon, not to mention the local flea markets. Something must fill in this gap.
