title_body: Is there any way to get a discounted ebook if I already have the book? I have a bunch of physical books, and I would like to have ebook versions of some of them. It doesn't seem like I should have to pay the full ebook price. I know about Matchbook, but these aren't books I bought from Amazon. Do any publishers give deals on their ebooks if you've previously bought the real book from them (don't know how you would prove it though)?
upvoted_answer: This would depend on the publisher, and as you mention, it's difficult to prove that you bought the book unless you bought it directly from the publisher and they have a record of it. Many publishers will offer discounts if you're buying both the ebook version and the print version, so it doesn't hurt to ask if you've bought directly from a publisher, but if it's from a retailer it's less likely.
