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.

What might work is if you purchase the paperback book, you get a code on your receipt that allows you to go to the publishers website to download the ebook. The ebook would be DRM filled. But it would allow you to download it in all the major ebook formats as needed. That way it is harder to give away and you get the ebook free with your dead tree purchase.
