Okay, maybe I'm missing something really obvious here.
But wouldn't the logical solution to that be for the hardcover publishers who also hold e-book rights to simply not submit the electronic files for Amazon's Kindle editions (and B&N's, and Sony's, etc.) until several weeks or months had passed after hardcover release and they were satisfied with those important initial sales?
