I would just add that I have bought hardcover versions of books that I first acquired as used paperbacks, and then passed the paperbacks along again; and I don't think I'm alone in this. Great writing will sell more when people are exposed to it, and I think sites like this -- as well as used book stores and traditional sharing of books among friends -- helps, rather than hurts, sales in the end, at least for books that are of enough depth to read more than once.

I do a lot of paperback swapping with family and friends. :-) I noticed this site from one of your tweets – I’m checking it out. I do a lot of paperback swapping with family and friends.
