Quite apart from the expense, a hardback is simply a less convenient version of the book. I'm not going to pay more for an inferior (to me) product.

The same for me, in regards that I do not like hardcovers as a format to read from. On the other hand I have found myself willing to pay the price for trade format just for early access (here in continental Europe it is released at the same time as the hardcover).
For some books I am perfectly fine to wait (price or format change) but for others I want to pay extra for immediate access. So the current trend in ebook-pricing makes perfect sense to me.
