I'm always rather astonished at the idea that paper/mass-market/e-Books cut into hardcover sales. Maybe they do, but I agree with Elfwreck that in most cases, it's a different market. I've never, EVER bought a hardcover new. Wouldn't want one even if it was offered to me. I can't stand hardcovers, and that's just me, but I'm very rarely a unique special butterfly and I doubt this is one of those rare cases.
