On a related note, I recently purchased (new) several Baen books at a ridiculously low price, they were 'special edition' versions.... same as the regular MMP, but low-priced 'the first taste is free, then you're hooked' kind of books. Baen in particular has had an ongoing Free Library E-book program running for years now to attempt to buck conventional wisdom and offer up one book of a series free in hopes that it will improve sales of paper copies for the series. Doesn't seem to have hurt them so far. I guess my point is that with several billion potential readers / sales opportunities, a few thousand used books don't count as 'lost sales' when they've already been sold once, they count as 'free advertising'.
