I have bought many, many ebooks to replace my paper copies, which I no longer want to read. And as was mentioned before, several posters here have bought omnibus editions while already owning some books in them, because the omnibus was cheaper than buying the remaining books separately would have been.
Intentionally buying the same ebook twice which is not part of an omnibus? Hmm... perhaps I have when the new edition had something the old one didn't, like new scenes or something. But I can't exactly remember.
Ah yes, there was a defective first edition of a fantasy book (the publisher had accidentally left out some parts) which they promised to fix and replace for free, but somehow the offer never manifested. I bought the new, fixed edition again years later. It was more than 10 years ago and I no longer remember the title or the author.
