I don't think we see this quite the same way. For me, the ebook
is the advertising, for one good only, the hardcopy version of the book (because, among other thing, that allows not to care one bit however the ebook version gets passed around).
Have you ever considered trying this out with your novels? Putting up one to download for free with clear links to the way to buy a hardcopy (print-on-demand services come to mind).
