ebay or copy a book {pocket or hardcover} in your computer then make it to an ebook then sell it. i mean resell rights to the publisher.

Yes, you do need permission from the publisher,but you probably won’t get it. It would be similar to making copies of an audiobook for resale or photocopying a real book for resale. Publishers don’t allow multiple copyright holders for the same book.

    Some have resale rights and say so. I think if a book is over 100 years old the copyright expires so you can reproduce it and sell it (Idea for rare books)
