The other issue here is e-books. Everybody and their brother is now writing an e-book. They are usually about 30 pages long, more like a long article than a book and they're usually nothing more than a bunch of blog articles reformatted into an article.
My point here? Unless as Duncan says, you are a HUGE, known commodity, it is unrealistic, at least in my opinion, to think that people are going to pay. And i don't think the inclusion of an e-book is going to change anybody's mind.
Sorry if this sounds harsh...it's not directed at you...and it's just one person's opinion.
