Another way to make new editions more valuable for a reader is to include more extra material like introductions and enhancement to the X-ray information.

How much more would most people pay for an introduction which many books have already, and many don't read instead of the 'used' book. Or for the correction of a few errors. And how would publishers announce the new improved version, which in many cases is provided to previous purchasers who would then be selling the same thing without looking foolish?
They could say we have fixed these errors so buy a new book today because it will be several days before you can buy the new improved used ebook?
