I've said in other places that adopting popular magazines to e-book format could spur reader sales significantly. A discounted e-subscription deal, possibly sold with an additional discount as a promotion with a reader, could be a great promo tool.

(And now, get "Oprah" magazine with your Sony Reader, at 20% of the newsstand price!)

There's no reason it couldn't work with a book club. The e-books just have to be made available. Perhaps if enough book club members asked for it...
