ibook aftermarket? Can I buy and sell my ibooks?

Thank you all for your messages.

I am a disappointed mouse. ;-( Hopefully some competitor will provide me a new lever to press at some point where I can rent a book for 3 weeks and pay $2 instead of $17 to rent it forever.

Doesn't the kindle app let you lend books...I think the kindle device does.

Yes. And the Nook. It was fun to do that, I have to admit. Still like my ipad better.

Actually, yes, its the nook that has book lending.

My mom has one of those...I couldn't remember which one it was.

Yeah, this is the biggest drawback I have found with ebooks. With a real book, you can pass it on when you are done, with ebooks, everyone has to buy their own copy. I guess that would be fine if the books were all half the price, but they arent.

Say, I clearly remember reading on MRforums that Amazon/Kindle allows you to lend your purchased books to an other friend with a Kindle for a certain period. Is this true?
