Why would I subject myself to difficulty just so I can pay more money?

Amazon has got the convenience factor right with their Kindle, as long as you can find the ebook you want to read on their site you can buy it direct from your Kindle with 1 click.
As for more desirable, I don't know what you could do with books but some games give you extra content if you register them online. Presumably it wouldn't be difficult for each copy of an ebook to have a different registration number and to check that those numbers aren't registered more than once? But it would need to be something good that they got for registering or people wouldn't bother. You'd probably also end up with people sharing the extra content.
