*heh* A couple of years ago, I would have quite happily paid hardcover prices for certain paperbacks, if they'd been availabe as early as the hardcover books.
I'd bought one book by one of my favourite authors in hardcover, and was really miffed when I found that the size had changed from the several-years-older hardcover I had from the same series - the stupid thing didn't fit my bookcase! I could have adjusted the bookcase, but that would have dominoed to having only three boards instead of four, which would have sucked, since that meant losing space for ~50 paperbacks...
So, yeah, publishers are losing hardcover sales from me because the hardcovers are too unweildy. And aren't those somehow important for bestseller lists?
