I would definitely buy a bundled hardcover or paperback with an e-book for backlist books (e.g., John Steinbeck) . I have a lot of favorite books that I want to keep in physical form, but they are worn and tattered. I also want them in e-book form. Buying both a new physical copy and the e-book is expensive, so I have to choose one or the other.
I'd also probably buy a bundle for books in continuing series that I started out buying in hardcover and now will have to decide which format to get.
A bundle could be an option--buy just the physical copy at $10, buy just the e-book at $10, or buy the bundle for $15.
