Ugh! I only ever buy dead-tree books for one of two reasons: (a) I simply HAVE TO have the book, and it's not available in ebook format, or (ii) The aesthetics of the book are as important as the content. In the last ten years, the only paper books I've bought have
both been for the second of those reasons, so having an ebook copy would have been pointless - The beautiful Discworld Atlas I bought would be a squinty gray mess on my Kobo.
Were such an "incentivized" purchase offered, I'd rather see options available, such as store credit for future purchases, whether paper or digital. Perhaps a discount on a paper copy for those ebooks whose price notably exceeds the paper version might be appealing too, for gifting purposes
