Just rechecked "The Bourne Objection". It's still $14.99 for the kindle version. That's $1.50 cheaper than the hard back. Still, some time has passed and NOW I can buy the used hard back for $3.50.
So approximately 6 months has gone by and the publisher has to compete, not only with other ebooks, not only with other hard backs, but with the USED version of the hard back.
Of course, at $3.50 this used hard back is less than half the price of the paper back version which will be out in another 6 months.
Hope this helps illuminate the "time window" that the publishers have to bring in the most money. It's really very small. Anyone not willing to pay $14.99 for the ebook need merely wait abit.
