The idea of even offering an electronic version should be to drive sales for
the hard copy. Maybe offer a "Condensed Version" electronically, that has
enough content that readers can get enough of a feel for the product to
drive a buying decision. Throughout, make reference to the full version
having more complete content, complete with an "order now" link.  This
method worked well for Readers Digest!
