True, but how to do it. Not practical to have a better price than free, and discounting enough to reduce piracy significantly would likely cut revenues in
1/2 or more so. Autographed editions would be valueless if everyone got one.
Include the paper book maybe an incentive to a small percentage. It is being done, but I hear no sales of spectacular success. Can't give extra content because that could be pirated as well.

I am stymied.
