Nope. Real-world share-ability and resale is a pretty unsolved problem...

  The latter problem seems to be solving itself. Used bookshops are closing and selling used books online is getting less and less profitable.

    I suspect ebooks will replace the mass market pulp sort of books while higher quality first-run paperback and hardback books will persist. With a much smaller resale market and books worth owning for more reasons than just one or two read-throughs the whole market looks different.

    Yep. And since DRM can trivially be stripped off of ebooks, I'll be able to carry entire libraries in my pocket on a 1TB microSD card.
