True, Amazon checks for ownership of the pbook by checking their sales history. But then again, their motivation (like everyone's) is to drive sales. It isn't good business to allow you to buy the pbook from a competitor like B&N and get the bundled-price ebook from Amazon.
BitLit seems to only do ebook bundling, and are much smaller. This is what they do, and they want to attract as many customers as possible regardless of platform.
Speaking of which, they offer DRM so this is not the publishers getting sensible or anything. They actually do offer unlocked MOBI -- I assume for books where the publisher opts out of DRM -- and even suggest calibre for transferring the book!
But they won't move a lot of Big 5 books if they use DRM which doesn't work on the number-one ereader: Kindle.
