I wish the publishers would allow their "deep backlist" on my ereader at all - in any form. There are loads of books that I'd like electronically, which are not yet published as ebooks - not sure why there isn't a market for it when so many have been privately scanned by people and could be had from the Dark Side. If this acted as an encouragement to make more backlist available, it would be great news. Perhaps a large pool of material that currently earns them next to nothing would be worth digitising as a pool of content for subscribers, without hitting their revenue for new titles.
