I would also add that I don't think person to person sales or even organized person to person systems like Goozex are a bad thing. I don't think, however, that having gamestop push used games like a whore that needs her crack is a good thing for the industry as a whole.
Back on books. Books are sub $10 items in general (at least in paperback). They also don't generally have $10-40 million dollar budgets to recoup.
I certainly could be wrong, but I do believe that a more reasonable price charged from developers coupled with limits on how retailers can behave with IP software would be of benefit.
That said, as long as used games are around, and I can get 3 59.95 games (Total $180) for about $100, I'll keep doing it. I am, after all, not stupid. If an end did come to retailers flipping used games for a profit, I'd probably still get stuff from Ebay, Goozex, and Craigs List, but I would certainly get more stuff new than I currently do.
I hate trolls.
