There is nothing in the Amazon DRM system that prevents resale of books. They already have the ability to remove a book from your account and devices, if you ask for a refund. They could use that to implement a system where I could transfer ownership of the book. They already do this on a short term basis with lending.
(I understand that they have a business reason for not doing this, but there is not a technological one for not doing it)
