I still think a 3 month delay sucks. OK, it's better than a 12 month delay but still ... If they want to protect the hardcover sales, then they would be better selling the ebook from today (2nd Nov) at a high price (say $19.95US). I would happily buy it at this price. Instead, I am buying a heavily discounted copy of the trade PB (they don't routinely release HB's in NZ) at $29.95NZ (or about $22.50US).

Of course, even if they released the ebook today, it wouldn't help me, because it's geo-restricted, just like all the others.
