So that every physical book had the option of an eBook purchase as well.
I think Verso Books does this. And also discount sales every year where the e-books are stupid cheap (and non-DRM).

Why would fear of piracy prevent this? I don't see why a free ebook (included as part of a physical purchase) should/would be any less secure than a normal purchased ebook?

If I didn't already own a Kindle, then If probably get a Kobo.
But I do. Grrr
It seems to me that this should be being addressed by the publishers. So that every physical book had the option of an eBook purchase as well.
I bet that what is holding them back is the stupid old "fear of piracy" rather than "out compete the pirates with a convenient and well priced service" bullshit. I worked at EMI in the early noughties so know this only too well.
