Yeah. Like the idea of a used eBook market, as the law stands, this seems to be illegal, at least in the US. IANAL but the way I understand it, with eBooks, you are buying a non-transferable license to use that eBook file, not the file itself. Unlike a pBook, you don't have the same secondary sale rights rights.
Aside from that, most of the eBooks for sale have DRM tying the purchase to an account. The only way around that would be to strip the DRM which, again, is considered illegal in the US.
