No. Yes. No and No. No.
A lot people will buy a mass market paperback and read it once, then either toss it out or give it away/sell it.
So, if this is a valid argument against preading, then the fact that a lot of people will only read an ebook once and then toss it out, is also a valid argument against ereading.
And I even have problems giving away a book as gift (meaning: a book I bought specifically for somebody to give as a gift...) I couldn't part with all my own loved books, be they p or e!
