1: It would be great if publishers gave a free or low cost ebook with every paper book purchase. I'm all for that even though I can't see myself buying too many more pbooks in the future. Frankly I don't see it happening for free and I don't care enough to bother writing to any publisher demanding it.
2: The above idea would only really work, in my opinion, if an option for such was given at time of purchase. If you want the ebook version then get it when you purchase the paper version. If you do not obtain the ebook version at time of purchase then that is your tough luck.
3: The idea we, as consumers, have a "right" or "entitlement" to the digital version from the publisher, at the publishers expense, for free is laughable in my opinion. At time of purchase the consumer is well aware of what they are purchasing. In this case, that is a paper version of a book. If the terms of sale are not to the consumers liking(because it does not include the ebook) then the consumer has a right to, or is entitled to, not proceed with the transaction. That is the only right or entitlement the consumer has.
