If I could have some way of preserving a copy of my ebook forever with some type of log-in I would gladly pay full price for the book. Downloading OTA and paying for a book can be scary becuase if you lose the device, it breaks (both physically or internally) you are out all your costs. If there was a way to log-in and reclaim my books, I would pay more. Besides, think of all the money that would be saved by the publishers by not having to frieght them everywhere! No failure in the supply chain unless the server crashes, no logistics companies need to freight 1000s of books to stores and stores having to store them for days even weeks before the real release, no leaked copies being sold on ebay for astronomical profits. Publishers are just afraid of technology.
