Sven -
One option I've been privy to with digital book conversion is to offer the original content for the expected lower digital price (since that work is already done), and to offer revised/expanded/multimedia chapters on a per chapter or subscription basis (that way you get your foot in the door/marketplace with the original work, and still get to revisit and receive compensation for expansions on your own time). Since it is a digital artifact the production curve doesn't have to been as linear. Just a thought.

I just like the tactile experience of a real book better - but that is already changing for the new generations of consumers, so I would not be opposed to it.

But: An e-book version would only make sense if I could add all the links I possibly could to each chapter, of unpublished material, of music and video clips - like many of the posts I have done here. But then, that amount of additional work would be staggering, how could that be possibly made worth my time? That is a real dilemma: While the interactive multi-media potential of e-books is seemingly unlimited, they are expected to cost less.
