Most of the science fiction authors I read are published first in hardback or trade or both. Authors like Charles Stross, Ian McDonald, Iain Banks, Connie Willis, ans so on. Crime writers like Denis Lehane and Peter Robinson are also published first in hardback.

Second, I don't see the price of eBooks having dropped over time. Can anyone cite examples of titles dropping when the paperback came out? I know that the head of Macmillan promised that that would happen, but I don't think it has yet.

It has been reported here at MR that the prices have dropped when paperback edition is available.
