And as the paragraph below that says, I do not expect anyone "to do that for me" -- I posit that it's logical to want that, and that the market forces will deliver it once it's almost free, such as ebook for pbook. And I explicitly mention a fee. However, I'd like the digital upgrade to work similarly to the one already implemented by Amazon.

I highly recommend any guru who wants to weigh in to thoroughly familiarize themselves with Amazon digital upgarde as it exists already, to get up to speed faster.
