Could A Resale Method For EBooks Kills Used-Bookshops?
" The abstract describes a way for the owner of an ebook, say one of titles in the wildly popular Hunger Games series, to sell the digital file to someone else. It could go to a friend or possibly Amazon itself. Amazon would earn a fee on the sale, or perhaps resell the digital file from its website. Amazon's main competitor in digital goods, Apple Computer, filed a patent application on March 7 for a similar method." Crosscut 03/19/13
