Mighty Amazon
theodp writes "Fortune reports that the patent-pending practice of selling partners' used and new goods next to Amazon's own was CEO Jeff Bezos' response to the emerging threat of eBay. Seeing an opportunity to overtake the online auctioneer as well as a way to slow the need to add warehouse capacity, Bezos 'bet big and put hundreds of his best people on it.' While Bezos' decision caused a lot of discomfort at the time, including the Authors Guild protest and the subsequent e-mail campaign in Amazon's defense, today almost 20% of the e-tailer's unit volume is sold through others, yielding revenue that is almost pure profit."

The book publishers will realize that they can make more money by licensing the book content similar to how MS licenses software. So when you buy a book, you will have to agree to a license agreement before you open the package. At that point, they will prohibit you from re-distributing it more than once (again, similar to MS license agreements). You are, of course, free to use said book to start your camp fire.
