I still love the idea. I'd even put up with DRM on the ebook if we got a real hardcover that we could loan out / have as a backup / etc.

But we do not know what format will be bundled. And the problem is what about DRM? Last time I saw a bundle, it was PDF. And we all know how poor that will be overall for the reading experience. Unless of course they give us copies in ePub, Mobipocket, MS Reader, and PDF with no DRM, then it will maybe be OK. But otherwise, it could be a nightmare.
