Why is it immoral for the author to not be paid for each owner?
Surely the author released the work into the world knowing it may well be sold or passed on.
If the author didn't want that then s/he should only release a DRM'd ebook version, certainly not a pbook anyway, as I regularly give away pbooks I've read.
