I'm not saying hardback books aren't important.
I'm saying that hardbacks are important, as are trade paperbacks, as are mass market paperbacks. They all make money at different stages of the life of a book.
The original poster is saying (repeatedly) that if you don't buy first run full price hardbacks then the publishers don't care about you. He is saying that
only hardbacks matter. That is what I am disagreeing with.
