"The Authors' Guild is upset that Amazon is pursuing used book sales. I understand the financial problem this practice can present for authors, but I cannot fault the business angle. At least authors do not have to worry that people are copying their books before reselling them." Randy, I have no clue why the Author's Guild really cares. Amazon's share of the US book market is miniscule. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with the offering of a venue to sell a product used.
