in the immortal words of bugs bunny, "what a maroon".
i've bought many many hardback books in my life that were not clearanced, some ebooks that were on full new price that i just could not resist, and right now i have pre-ordered 2 books to be delivered on the date they're released.
besides, how cheap can most of the folks on this board be? many of us have bought pretty pricy ebook readers from before kindle and nook dropped the price. i've bought hundreds of books, and i'm not alone.
you're right - we don't matter to most of the big publishers, not at all. but considering what some of us spend regularly on books and ebooks, that just shows how poorly they understand business compared to other industries.
