"Sure but the money you save by reselling a book is probably less than what you save by buying the ebook" This is what I had hoped for when Kindle came around and Amazon started pushing Ebooks - but unfortunately it just isnt true. The difference between ebook and paperback is currently low enough that if you maintain your paperbacks well - you'll still end up spending less (net) on the book - in quite a few cases. (Heck you can even resell the paperbacks using Amazon ;))
