No, the market price for the (relatively small) set of people willing to buy more for hardbacks is that price.
The mass market price is the one charged for (hello!) mass market paperbacks.
The approach you are making, and ignoring when everyone is pointing out that you are wrong, is that only the hardback buying crowd matter. Not true. If that was the case we wouldn't have paperbacks. In fact paperbacks wouldn't be by far the largest section in book stores.
