If you buy your books on amazon, you may look forward to free kindle
editions.  Why do I say this?  I recently got 74 mp3 albums for free
because I bought them on amazon, and they've decided to make a great
gesture toward their customers.

Naturally burning a CD is a lot easier than burning, oops, copying a book!
 Probably won't be free but maybe cheap enough to be tempting.

I've got the reverse from the tech e-publishers recently: they are offering
good deals on the hardcopy if you've bought the ebook.  I've done that for
one of them.  But ebooks have another advantage: every new printing of the
hardback gives free updates to the ebook owners.  I've found that *really*
useful, especially when the ebooks come out "still in beta".  I've had over
25 updates, I'm sure.
