It is true, of course, that simply allowing resale of ebooks would totally destroy the market for new ebooks since the an ebook is always "new". Especially if Amazon organized a "second hand ebook market". I never buy second hand items, but I obviously wouldn't think twice about buying a second hand ebook. A possible solution would be to allow resale only after an extended period, let us say two years or so? Though handing an ebook to a friend (if it can be made sure that only one copy remains in existence) should be fine.
