I suspect that's exactly what they are trying to do. If you sell a print copy you don't get to keep it and the publisher doesn't get a share of the proceeds and never will. They seem to want a used market for digital copies to get a share of resale proceeds which could well be a charge to the new owner to allow its use - cough up or you don't get to use it!
