The official figures on the sale of eReaders and ebooks are not very high or positive but it does not mean that it is the reality. In parallel there is a second-hand market of which nothing is recorded and that can give guidance on what is really happening in the market and among ebook users.
The second-hand eReader is on the rise, something that many do not think but it is really happening. A) Yes In places like eBay or other second-hand websites, the flagship device (at least one of them) is the eReader.
In the second-hand market we can find premium eReaders for less than 100 dollars
We can find second-hand Kindle Paperwhite for less than $ 50 but we can also find eReaders from other brands but high-end for an even lower price. Thus, Kobo devices are the most popular in this regard, reaching the Kobo Aura H2O, a 7-inch eReader, for $ 62 or the Kobo Aura One for $ 20 less than its original price. Models that They are as premium as the Kindle Oasis but at a more affordable price, much more affordable than in an official store.
The market for second-hand ebooks is even bigger. A market in which thanks to accessories or tools that remove drm we can spend a lifetime reading ebooks without paying for it, but it is also more dangerous.
While reselling eReaders is legal, reselling ebooks is illegal and that means that not everyone uses this type of ebooks despite the fact that the new laws seem to point to the fact of being able to resell ebooks in the not too distant future Will 2017 be the ideal date for this? Have you bought a second-hand eReader? What do you think?
You can specify where these offers are, because I have looked and cannot find those prices. They are even more expensive.
And if you look in http://www.uzzet.com you can find on ebay, amazon, milanuncios, vibbo, and wallapop at the same time.
I bought the Kobo touch the first, and it works excellent, it's like new, and it only cost me 40 dollars, with everything and shipping to Mexico, it took a while because they sent it to me by ordinary mail but it arrived sealed and everything. I bought it from a North American, and they were from a store on the border with Canada, but people who live in Europe can find some even cheaper and more modern, for similar prices, mainly from Russia and the UK.
