I suppose that if the Agency 5 (now 6) continue to jack up prices, I might become interested in the idea of *buying* used ebooks...but I agree with DiapDealer about the nightmare that would ensue if the process were regulated via DRM.

Well, you could probably get 50% or more of the price you paid for it selling it on eBay, or some other site that sprouted up for the purpose of selling/swapping ebooks. Then, of course, you'd need to be nearly brain dead to not check there before buying any title from the publisher. Which would have the obvious impact on the publishers.
