Yes. I just can't see what you are wasting I guess. The content is the value for me, whether I reread it or not. I understand that you can't pass it on, but that does not equal waste to me. Perhaps in the event that I thought a book a must read for someone to the point that I would buy them another copy whether they wanted to read it or not, I might have that view. Not likely to happen though. If they wanted the book as a gift though, I wouldn't mind spending the money, because in reality I have done the same with paper, bought a new copy as a gift rather than just giving my used copy. Lending there is always the library.
