If that's true, then why didn't that happen with paper books? Why didn't everyone wait for the mass market paper back? I don't think I've ever bought a new hardback (I do have some that I bought second hand), but I have bought trade paper backs when I wanted the book badly enough that I didn't want to wait for the mass market paper back.
