It's the only way you'd be getting me to buy a Kindle. I'm not buying the books I love AGAIN, just to have them in electronic form.
The talk of piracy and who does or doesn't get paid is missing the whole point. You won't make the Kindle the next "must have" gadget if you can't already port your whole collection on to it! This is the only thing stopping it from selling millions of units.
Should Amazon institute a "send us your books and then download the free electronic version?" Probably. Will they? Probably not.
