Yes, that's pretty much the case.
It would be interesting to see if there's any correlation between e-book prices that lag far behind the PB release and titles where the PB publisher is not the primary rights holder/original publisher. Frankly, in those cases (where the HB publisher sells PB rights to another house), there's no
obvious incentive to drop the e-book price. There is one, but not one that certain hide-bound accounting types would necessarily acknowledge.
