That might have been a viable business model in the days before the internet, but it won't work now. Within a week of going on sale Amazon will be putting second hand copies on the same listing as the new one, and within a month there will be pirate versions showing up in Google searches. By the time the cheaper option becomes available most of its target audience will have already read it one way or another.
