I find the idea interesting, but I'm not sure how it would work. Do you sell your access rights to the book on to another user for the same price? If so, why not just buy it from store, thereby paying the author?

Well I don't think reselling or trading will happen but they would be in the best place to offer this service.
Now explaining what I mean. When I say reselling I'm referring to treating eBooks just like used books. Essentially I could resell them back to google or sell the to another google client at a fraction of the original price.
The only difference form a user expiernece is the reduction of price, because eBooks do not degrade in quality like physical books do.

Yes to all the questions above.
I don't think the authors would get any money back. Under copyright they are not entiled sales preceding form resale. Only the govement holds that right
They don't and it would not be a violation of copyright.
