The problem with most ebooks is you ca n’t precisely give them with a friends or pass them onto your children when you ’re done . But Amazon might really address that with a newpatent to sell used ebooks .
regrettably you ca n’t just buy an ebook and own an ebook and do what you want with it . So basically the patent mean Amazon could own the right to letting people resell the digital pages or audio file they have stored in their tabler or Es - lector . You recognise , like Craigslist for your old Kindle written matter of The DaVinci Code ( 50 cents or best offer ! ) Or a garage sale for 50 Shades of Grey on your iPad . ( Sorry , I want at least $ 1.17 for that , but I ’ll bedevil in these gardening gloves . ) Except you ’d have to go through Amazon , rather than selling digital books in your own digital G sale , so to speak . And if Amazon ’s young patent to sell used ebooks ever turns into a real thing , you may never get to .
Of course many patent of invention never amount to anything at all and are moves to batten intellectual attribute before another ship’s company does . We desire that ’s the shell here , so one day perhaps our children can inherit our ebooks free on own term . [ Publishers Weekly ]
