+1. You know, the resale point is always brought up as a reason ebooks are inferior, but like you, I have almost never resold books, other than textbooks. Indeed, I have just given away far more than I have resold. In reality, I think most folks don't resell their books, so I think this is more a talking point rather than an actual advantage of physical books.
I think whether you think ebooks are superior or not is up to the individual consumer and may even vary as to the type of book. A person may like some books in hardcover, others in paperback, and still others as ebooks. It is nice to have that choice .
