(Not necessarily for the consumer!)
To help promote the Kindle, Amazon offers to give kindle copies of all books that you "trade in" to Amazon.

Kindle gets to "give away" electronic copies and get real copies they can sell.

The publishers would not, of course, care for this much. Heh.

I'd probably do it in most cases though, if just to thin out my book shelves. 700+ books at the moment.. most of which aren't available in ebook format, but some are.
