What if apple invented a new currency, iDollars (i$), that is only for purchasing used digital books. You buy a a book from apple for 10 real dollars. You then sell it back to apple for 9 i$. It is now considered a used digital book. Apple can then resell the used digital book for 10 i$.
I have no problem with current-release ebooks in the $5-$7 range as long as they are easy to purchase, easy to download, don't have DRM and are available for both my ePub and mobi/AZW devices. If the publishers fail to meet *ALL* these requirements then I'll first turn to the darknet for my ebooks.
