6 of the 10 top selling books on Amazon.com at the moment are hardcovers. Apart from one with a list of $14 and a price of $7, they all have list prices above $26, and all have discounted prices of below $20.
($35->$14,$14->$7,$35->$19.22,$29->$14,$27->$14,$30->$16.18,$35->$19,$26->$13,$28->$14)
Yes, a lot of people are buying these hardback releases. No, they are not paying full hardback release price. No, that does not translate into demand for the eBook versions at non-discounted list price.
