I'm all for it on one solitary condition; no taxation without representation. All brick and mortar retailers must carry all the costs for my ebooks to be sold as real books in their stores, including a small inventory in all their stores ensuring that the hardcopy is always available for any customer to buy at any time.
I think it's entirely fair. If publishers and book stores want to be paid by ebook consumers, then the consumers should have a reasonable expectation for access to any and all hardcopy versions of any ebook they could otherwise buy from a major reputable ebook retailer (AKA amazon) and have no expectation to wait for a copy to be mail-ordered in.
