Amazon's 'Kindle MatchBook' finally bundles physical books with a copy for your Kindle

The Verge[^]:

If you've ever purchased physical books from Amazon, you'll soon be able to buy those same titles for your Kindle at virtually no cost.

Buy books, get books

I don't care about dead tree books, give me dirt cheap electronic ones.

I'd rather be phishing!

Love it. Knowing it's available for a particular book will make me MORE likely to buy the physical book. Much like the mp3 downloads of Audio CDs I've purchased.

It is a brilliant move on their part. Basically no real cost, and the good will they get (not to mention potential Kindle sales) is huge. Almost makes me want to buy a few books, but I'm too hooked on the library at the moment.
