The point is, though, that with paper books there is a clear difference between a new book and a second-hand book, and for many people there will always, therefore, be a reason to buy new books. That distinction disappears with eBooks - the second-hand book would be absolutely identical to the new book, and there would be no reason at all to buy new.
