No, I think what most people want is the ebooks to be available at the same time but at a cheaper price then the cheapest paper edition. It's a reasonable expectation and the publishers aren't going to change people's minds.

People also expect the price to drop below the paperback price when it's released and that noise hasn't started yet.
