Good point! I just found this in the Ask Tim Archives. looks like

Of course, CD Bookshelf products and ematter versions of some titles
are only two of many experiments we're running in an attempt to build
up business models for online books. We will be selling online access
to individual books and collections of books on a subscription basis
starting next year. And I imagine that we'll figure out some way of
giving a discount to people who've previously bought books. (It's a
good argument for product registration for books, so we know who's
bought them, and can make these kind of offers.)

Be interesting to see how they deal with it, and maybe we can start
getting bulk discounts :)
