I have a large paper library that I would like to see in ebook format. For those books I am price sensitive. OTOH I buy a lot of fiction the moment it is released, I am eagerly awaiting a number of books. For those handful of authors and series I will happily pay even hardcover prices on release day.
I assume that others are similarly motivated. I doubt you get an ebook reader unless you are an avid reader. It is hard to be an avid reader and not get addicted to a series or two that is currently in progress. Once addicted I assume you are eagerly awaiting each release as I am. Books like that obviously have a different demand and therefore a different optimal price from the publisher's point of view. A few months after release the optimal price is obviously different since the demand, composed of those remaining interested, has changed.
Just my $0.02.
