Back in February 2009, I asked:
Well, apparently they are going to very soon and it's called **Kindle MatchBook**. ---- Interestingly, back in June 2009:does Amazon have an "upgrade your books to Kindle" like Apple does for iTunes plus?

I can't find if Amazon still shows you that number. ---- Based on a recent import into Goodreads, I've purchased just over 1,500 books from Amazon in the last 17 years. That does NOT seem to include Kindle books. According to Amazon.com I have 277 books in my Kindle collection but ignoring the included user guides, etc, it's about 250. ---- It will be interesting to see what the pricing ends up being and also what percentage of my physical books (from Amazon) are now available on Kindle. Combining these: if Amazon gives a single click "purchase available Kindle editions of all your purchased books", I wonder what the dollar amount will be. ---- As publishers have to opt-in to the Kindle MatchBook program, I guess the number might start off low and grow over time. ---- Looks like Kindle MatchBook is available now:ooh, it looks like Amazon does now tell you which of the print books you've ever bought are available on Kindle. sadly less than 10% for me.
