but what if i want to buy used pamphlets?

the new york times had an article today about the threat of the used book market. i guess amazon.com is selling used books and people are actually buying them. and that makes publishers mad. kind of. they're not really sure yet. haven't done too much thinking about it. after all, it's not illegal. i think it will be interesting to watch this story develop. when i read it on my palm pilot this morning i thought that it was the beginning of something big, probably because the writer used the word napster (or was it napsterization?). anyway, i wasn't going to mention this until i saw bookslut's response in which she shares her new vs. used book buying habits. very cool.
