A used book is a single entity. There's that used book... or those used books. Each one was bought and paid for new at one time, gaining the publisher and author their due profits.
Each time that used book is resold rather than somebody buying a new copy it is a loss of a sale though, even more than the spurious logic of one download = 1 lost sale that is commonly used by the music, film, book etc. industries.
