I have an idea that I think you should seriously consider. I think that the purchase of any book through your site should include a code for the Kindle version. Now, this code would not necessarily have to mean a FREE download- perhaps simply a discounted rate for anyone who wants to add the digital version to their book purchase (higher % discount for hardcover purchases than paperbacks). You could even only offer this service to Prime members.
I am an avid reader, and I vastly prefer actual books to reading digitally. However, while I prefer to purchase the physical book, there are many circumstances that require the ease and portability of an ereader. Traveling, for example. I also re-read my favorites quite often, and having an option of how I can consume material I've already paid full price for would be appreciated. I'm a big fantasy fan, and sometimes there are years in between sequels (ahem, George RR Martin)- not to mention they can be 1000s of pages and very heavy in a purse or briefcase! But I would never give up adding the book to my bookshelf.
Anytime I purchase a book through Amazon, I would love to see an option at check out: add the Kindle version for $5? I can tell you that I personally would click 'yes' pretty much every time, and I think other customers would too. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this- I hope you think this idea is a great as I do!
