Of course, as a writer, yes, I wish I could somehow profit off each sale. I also wish my car could drive itself, so I could eat and talk on my cellphone in peace. C'est la vie.

Fortunately, writers now have a way to keep all those used books from diminishing their potential sales: Don't sell print. (That also has the virtue of making sure nothing ends up in the landfill.)
Good post!
