I don't think that would work. You would need to either base it on the UK library model, where writers get a few pence each time their book is downloaded (through taxation), or have them funded through adverts inserted into the book (and product placement, etc). Or just price them at second hand paperback levels and forget about the people who were never going to buy it anyway. Second hand paperback buyers are a vast untapped (by publishers) market that is never going to pay new hardback prices for their reading no matter how much publishers stamp their feet and cry about stealing cars.
