How would you create a working system of second hand ebooks with the guarantee that first purchaser hasn't held back a copy for himself before second sale? Even if you devised a fool proof system to overcome this, it still does not change the fact that you've jacked up the prices of paperbooks when they didn't need to be jacked up.
Price ebooks lower than paperbooks, and you're done without the need for all the fluff.
