The bookstores that don't are in many cases going bankrupt.
I agree DRMed electronic copies cannot be resold, which is good insofar as it may represent a disintermediation of the sales process and cost saving to the customer -- but if EA wants $60 from me for what it used to get for selling me a disk I could sell, lend, or give away, then that's not right.
I have no objection with EA wholesaling games to me.
