Keep in mind that most DVD bonus features are worthless.

Nothing. No bonus features would encourage people to rent DRM-encumbered eBooks at paper prices.
Bonus features sounds like nice idea, though For example, $4 gets you a non-DRM text-only with highlights (bold, italics). Maybe $6 gets you the same but with graphics.
Turning this around, I'd pay a little extra (maybe $5) to buy the paper version of a book and get an eBook version (non-DRM, of course) with it (sort of like the computer books that come with a CD).
