I had an email exchange with a fantasy & mystery author a couple of years ago who was quite irritated that Amazon was encouraging people to sell used copies of books still in print.
My suggestion: set up a web page with an Amazon Associate account and get your own nickel back from every book sold through your site. It won't come to so much for used books, but it's still something. (I'm given to understand that the Amazon commission is actually more per book than authors are paid by the publisher, for new books.)
I'd like to set up a website someday especially for authors to be able to talk about and sell their own books online, using these sorts of affiliate programs. I still haven't worked out how to validate identity, though.
