Generally I always buy ebooks and save buying physical books for the ones that I really loved. So thats one way to get people to buy physical versions when they already bought an e version (that is, create just a truly amazing book!). The other is definitely special editions and or treatments to the physical version. I just preordered the newest special edition of Snowcrash and I think it'll be my like 5th physical version (gotta have them all!)

I do the same. Either if I’ve really loved the book, or if it’s the kind of book I hope my kids will one day pick up off my bookshelf. I was introduced to a wide range of writing by browsing my mums books, and it occurred to me not long ago that if I stick with ebooks my kids will never have that opportunity
