It's interesting to see that people are so staunch in their adoption of ebooks with a revulsion to traditional books that even free they have no interest, particularly when they could take advantage of the remainder market and simply divert the physical edition to an auction site, used bookseller, or outright donate the physical copy to the library or someone without the luxury of owning an e-reader.

There's no used ebooks and generally restrictions on lending ebooks, but that isn't perceived as valuable at all... interesting.
