The way I look at pricing of ebooks is that they should slightly beat the price of the cheapest current edition and as such I will not complain about them charging more when only the hardback is out providing the price drops as soon as the paperback becomes available, I then have the choice of whether or not to pay a premium to get the book earlier rather than simply being forced to wait if they only released it at the same time as the paperback version.
Beyond the actual pricing though some of the things they do to actively dissuade people from purchasing ebook editions really annoy like randomly deciding to delay an ebook and then still charging a hardback premium in the hopes that they can con people into buying it twice perhaps, but in my case it will be buying it no times instead.
