If I purchase a pbook then I would love to download an ebook version or pull and ebook version off of a CD or other media. I think that packaging the digital version with the paper version would truly empower the reader. Why can't I take the words on purchased printed paper and read them on my phone or PDA?
Sometimes I like to listen to music on my PDA (low quality MP3), and other times I like to listen to the same music in a lossless format (FLAC or straight from the CD). I can really do what I want with my music. When I buy a book I'd like similar abilities.
