BitLit is a Canadian startup that answers the question many e-reader users have pondered at some point: why can't I download a free or cheap ebook version of a print book I already own? Especially now it's legal to rip your CDs on to iTunes.
Modern readers like to mix it up: we still love print, but also enjoy the portability (and search function) of an e-reader. However, the practice of "bundling" ebooks with p-books has been slow to take off; partly for technical reasons, but also because of fears about devaluing ebooks.
