You can resell books on the Kindle
That is, when you sell the Kindle device on like ebay, the ebooks you bought will still be on the device and thus transferable....thus you can build the books into the reselling price of the Kindle device. This is what I did with my Kindle 1 and I got quite a nice price for it.
Not only that....you get to sell the books and still keep them since the ebooks are still on the Amazon cloud and you can download them onto your new Kindle when you get it.
1. Buy Kindle
2. Buy ebooks
3. Sell Kindle and ebooks for nice premium
4. Buy new Kindle (perhaps with new generation) and download old books
...and repeat, might even make a nice profit?!?!?! ok, that is being optimistic....if u do this too much you'd probably get kicked off Amazon.
Thus if I'm a long time customer of amazon and I buy several devices over my life time...I can actually resell the same book multiple times. this could in effect reduce the cost of the ebooks to zero.
