Exactly. The proper parallel for ebook pricing of new releases is movies. We all know that first-run tickets are going to cost more than second run, or DVD, or waiting until it hits the $ movie theaters. The producers, of whatever the product, is set the initial price as high as the market will bear and still produce sales, then reduce it over time to pull in more customers that won't pay top price. What you get for buying early isn't a different movie, it is earlier access to the movie.
