Usually, I'm content to wait too, but I'd rather it be our choice.

I would have been really unhappy if I had no choice but to wait or try to read the hardcover of the long-awaited 5th in Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series.

And, as said elsewhere, it seems plain the publishing world needs to look at their music compatriots, and save themselves a lot of pain and hassle - although, as yet, the figures involved are obviously nowhere near the CD/download battleground.

Perhaps they're just making hay.......?
I think they well could be. Their cries of poor pitiful them because of piracy or rampant sharing and BS claims that ebooks cost so much to produce and serve -- and acting as if they don't save money in a gillion other ways has taught me see them as smarmy types trying to sell us snake oil.
