The reason the last book of the series was available as an eBook on launch day for around $6.99 was because it was released in paperback at $7.99. The new one is being released in hardcover for around $26.00 (discounted to $16.60) with the eBook priced at $12.99.
The difference in price between the eBook and the paper edition is both absolutely and proportionately greater than it was for the last book in the series. They've more than doubled the price of the paper edition (even counting the discount - without it it's been tripled), and less than doubled the eBook price.
You can argue that $12.99 is too much because you feel all eBooks should be $9.99 or less - but as soon as the decision was made to release the new one in hardcover, the eBook launch price had to go up.
