But then how would the companies make money from the used sales market? They wouldn't. That's why they only allow you to lend books for ONE week, ONE time only. Just something to quiet people down. A token 'you can lend books!' feature for those that don't dig any deeper.
You're really buying a license to read a book. You don't own anything. Hopefully, with time, books will become cheaper. They should, too. Most of them today originate on the computer. So you have the digital copy of it, and would take you 10 minutes to create a finished ePub out of it. Perhaps publishers might have a point in keeping prices high by claiming that they have to digitize older books, but hopefully, eventually the prices will come down to rational levels.
