Yes, I also feel bad that authors I truly love the work of don't get paid on my used "dead-tree" purchases.
I tend to find authors after their books have been out a while so there are plenty of used versions of their books.
For example, I own 15 Elizabeth Moon books but only 2 are new. I own 18 Lois McMaster Bujold books, but only 7 new (she has done a little better on me than Moon)
Some older authors, almost 100% of my copies may be used.
I notice Baen Books has many ebooks for Elizabeth Moon at $4 to $6 each. At that price (similar to the price used versions), I could afford to pick up ebook versions as well of the books I love - and the author would receive income. Especially since some are omnibus editions - 2 or more books in one.
An affordable way to build my digital library.
