I'm not suggesting that publishers make more formats available, I'm suggesting they charge us for the content, and then charge us a second time for the costs (and only the costs) of our particular form of delivery.

I agree completely. I'm going through digitizing a few books that I read when I was younger, and are currently out of print. If publishers follow your model, they can sell the physical copies, and then add a surcharge for a 'format shift' of the content. Doing it yourself is lots of work.
By the way, the books I'm converting are the 'Skaith' books by Leigh Brackett. There's a character in there with the same name as your screen name. Coincidence?
