Because, ya know, I can read books for FREE there. Hmmmmmm.<br /><br />I like the way you look at it. And I think you're totally right. I've passed arounnd my favorite books and created some fans for authors. I'd do the same for your books!!! Trust me... the ladies here love my collection! Mostly because I do buy my books new (heh!). I usually only resell crappy ones... hahahaha. Yeah.. um are those same authors against libraries???? Because, ya know, I can read books for FREE there. Hmmmmmm.

In the end, it comes down to the skills of the writer. If someone buys a used book and they love it, they're not going to wait until the sequel hits the used book stores. However, that brings up a point about e-books. If they ever figure out how to keep e-books from being sent via e-mail or copied onto a flash drive, it would make them difficult to sell as them used. Just a thought. :) Excellent post! In the end, it comes down to the skills of the writer.

Not something I ever would've thought about, but I guess I'm not in on the writing circles.<br />I usually buy books news because I like to keep a lot of books around to re-read or lend out to friends. I was a creative writing/journalism major in college, so I tend to devour books. I just have to budget to make sure I am able to get my fix! Interesting post.
