As was explained several times already, this is a silly comparison (just returning your term).
(1) you did not buy your "floppies with content" on Amazon
(2) you did not buy your 8-track on Amazon
(3) different physical carriers cost money to make, as opposed to a software file
(4) Amazon knows exactly what you own on paper, and offers you digital upgrade already. On the web, not ebook yet -- but there's no difference why not.
Give up silly comparisons of ebook/pbook dichotomy to 8-track/CD! It doesn't work, doesn't make sense, and doesn't translate, and you know better.
