I would love, love, love it if publishers would offer bundles of ebook and paper book. Like—I'm making up numbers, bear with me—if a paperback is $8 and the ebook version is $6, I'd pay $12 for both the paper copy and a download link. If a hardcover is $20 and the ebook is $10, I'd pay $26 for both. Like that.

I wonder why no big presses have done that. Perhaps they think they can get people to pay full price for both? But that doesn't seem like it'd happen very often.

O'Reilly does that, but I'm not sure it's the kind of book you buy a lot of ...

I do some, so that's good to know! Hopefully it will catch on.

Pragmatic does too. (I guess it's not surprising that the tech publishers are ahead of the game in ebooks.)
