I think of it as the right idea, but the wrong execution.
You should be able to examine the book at the bookstore. But once you decide to buy it, it should be a fully digital package downloadable at the store, or e-mailed to you. I see their point at wanting to attach the file to the physical package (and the receipt... apparently, you'd best keep both as long as you want to use that book) for security purposes, but I think they could've done better. This solution just seems kludgy to me.
