One thing that makes me ponder...
...some people say that ebooks are "killing" proper books, and they'd much rather buy a cheap second hand book than a digital version.

But surely buying a cheap digital version over a second hand version would mean the author would actually then get paid money? Authors don't receive any money for sales of second hand books, so does this not mean that authors do better out of digital sales?

I admit this argument isn't water tight, but surely there's some truth in it?
