Quite obviously many here think the comparison of a pbook to an ebook is silly to begin with and the suggestion that if you buy the former you are entitled to the latter at any time in the future that you choose, at the publishers expense, even sillier.
As I mentioned before, I think if the idea was implemented for a nominal fee at the time of purchase it may be workable. To expect Amazon or any other company to supply an ebook for a discount at any time of your choosing in the future is simply not going to happen in the foreseeable future, if ever.
