One consideration is the licence agreement. If that says that ownership is not transferrable, you'd be in breach of contract if you were to re-sell it. Non-transferrable software licence agreements are not uncommon. The terms and conditions of most bookstores do say that ownership cannot be transferred, and you have agreed to those terms when you buy the book.
