On the other hand, if the new editions are really worthwhile, I have no doubt that at least some people will prefer them, if only because they are more proverbially shinny than the old ones.
P.S: I don't have the slightest idea of what novels you are talking about, but the ideas still remain.

Well the novel I was referring to was "Switched" by Amanda Hocking. She posted it on Amazon.com for 99 cents awhile back and then later raised the price to 8 dollars. Would it be right for those who purchased it for 99 cents to resell it? Or give it away?
We can imagine another book which has raised its price in this way, but with no other changes to its content...
