Added to the list of potential buyers are rebuyers. There are a number of printed books that I already own that I'd be interested in buying once again as an ebook just for the convenience.

Rather trying to do a mass conversion of ebooks, what might work better is to allow readers to indicate (via customer feedback) the books they'd like to see released as ebooks. That way, they will know that there is already interest in a particular title, or all of the works of a specific author. If a publisher receives hundreds of requests for a specific book, that is a good indicator that the ebook would sell.
