EU law is quite clear - resale is permitted, and Exhaustion Doctrine applies.
Or, you can rent me the books. I'll pay $1-2 for renting them.
I know it sounds harsh, but you expect me to respect your rights as an author. Certainly - but I in return expect you to respect my rights as a purchaser, or I'll go elsewhere.

In actual fact, the whole idea is pretty much a non-issue for me personally, though Ben did suggest an interesting scenario. As I said to him, my statement was probably a bit narrow-focused.
At CC we greatly respect our readers and work very hard to play fair with them and bring them a unique and quality product. We are DRM free, supply multiple formats in a single, reasonably-priced file, and free "upgrades" when we refine a file. Our readers, in turn, play fair with us. They're smart. They know how close to the edge we run and that if they take a sale away from us we won't be able to keep writing. We work with them, not counter to their interests and they know it. That's the kind of reader I know and respect.
