Amazon Finally Bundles Ebooks With Printed Books 135
nk497 writes "Amazon is bundling ebooks with print copies for the first time, via its Kindle MatchBook programme, admitting that 'bundling print and digital has been one of the most requested features from customers.' The digital copies won't all be free — as with AutoRip, which offers free MP3s for selected CDs and records — but Amazon promises to charge no more than $3 per digital copy. The programme will apply to books bought as far back as Amazon's 1995 launch. So far, only 10,000 books are listed as being part of Kindle MatchBook, but Amazon hopes to add more, telling publishers it 'adds a new revenue stream.'"

I know RTFA is frowned upon, but even from RTFS and a bit of reading comprehension you will realise that it goes something like: book = full dead tree price, eBook = full digital price, book + eBook = full dead tree price + $3.
