ebook donations?

Hey, I have a question about accepting eBook donations.  Thanks for any 
insight you may have on this!  Do you know if it is possible for Friends 
groups to accept eBook donations then sell them?

Other questions around eBook donations:

What I'd like to know is some background information on what all is 
involved in us accepting ebooks donations from the public and then 
making those titles available through our collection. By donation, I 
mean I buy the book from an online store such as Amazon, I read it, and 
then you as a library employee tell me how to "donate" the book to the 
library. Which libraries are doing this now, if any? How are they doing 
it? Were there any copyright issues to work through? And anything else 
you think might be helpful for me to know.
