I would love this as there are many books in my p-library that I would love to have in my e-library. A lot of them just don't exist in e-book, in any format.

I have bought a series or two from Fictionwise and, sadly, dhbailey is right. You are committed to one format. It just isn't their "protected" version.

This make perfect sense. A lot of DVDs come with a digital copy of the film, if you buy the deluxe edition. They could do the same for books. When you go to Barnes & Noble or Borders or wherever, if you buy the 'deluxe edition' of whatever book you want, you would get a code that would be assigned to your account when you use it, getting you a digital copy of the book in which format you choose. (Wow, that was a nice run-on sentence!) I know the digital copies of movies I have gotten are attached to my iTunes account and are listed as 'purchased' even though I didn't actually buy them.

Just my $0.02
