"Worthwhile" depends on from what perspective.
A worthy cause, in that challenging publishers & ebook retailers on the issue of ebook resale would likely eventually result in more protection of consumer's rights? Yes.
Worth the C&D or lawsuits that might be thrown at the first person or org to try it? That depends on their assets and access to good lawyers.
If I were a bit more web-savvy, I might consider opening a "used ebook store/exchange." I don't recommend Mobileread doing so; I don't want Mobileread's forums & free ebooks to be off the internet for two years while the court case resolves.
