Then you don't acknowledge the resale market at all - easily tallied at Amazon.
And it is this market which neither authors nor the original publisher get a cut of which I have used for probably 85 percent of my book purchases all of my life. Textbooks included.

Instead of worrying about piracy, writers have a chance to capture the biggest portion of the second hand pie. By superseding it economically.
