As an avid reader, this is truly appreciated as I agree with the philosophy that if you buy the book you are buying the content so you should have access to the digital content as well. However, do you find that people are either predominantly paper or predominantly digital so this offer ends up being only a nice "extra" gesture (a very appreciated one for the thoughtfulness)?

That's an interesting question. I haven't asked my readers what they used the ebook for so I don't have any data on that. I've found that many of my readers have passed on their physical copy to friends after though, so maybe having an ebook to send to friends is appreciated as a quick look at whether you'll be interested to read or not. Again, I don't have data.

If I turn it around, what would you appreciate most from an author in terms of extra content?
