The update includes a response from Amazon about marked books.

Thanks for that.

This sort of sums up the publisher created situation nicely:

"The ironic thing in all this is that publishers could very easily decrease the impact remainder sales have on their bottom line—if not kill remainder sales altogether—if they just got behind ebooks and pushed hard. If they got competitive with ebook prices instead of trying to keep their prices so high that people simply don’t want to buy them, they could sell more non-resalable copies, and perhaps reduce their print runs which would in turn reduce the number of remainder copies."
