I do like this "concept" but don't agree that an audio book is a different "container". The text in an eBook, Paperback, Hardback is all the same delivered slightly differently. The "content" can be shifted from one to the other with basic technology.
However, an audi book is different content. It is a recording of a performance (Granted of someone reading the text content). Now, I could see them offering a free eBook with a Audiobook purchase... but the other way around I can't see it.
