The book is CURRENTLY IN PRINT and also AVAILABLE FOR SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER THAN "NEW" ON THE WORLDS BIGGEST ONLINE USED BOOK STORE.
That is what people are saying.
If
you think that given (a) $8 new paper (which can be sold for $4 after reading), (b) $8 new ebook, and (c) $4 used paper that
most people are going to go with (b) at a $4 loss, then you are welcome to your opinion, but...
...there are people in this thread that are telling you that they do NOT buy that way and that the publishers MIGHT want some of their money.
THAT is the point. With caps, since you like those.

Throughout the history of books, when has this occured?

Ummm... every day? There's a brand new run of Robin Hood at the local bookstore, in hardback and everything. It's not selling at the same price as the new paper books.
Like, is this a trick question?
Even things that aren't public domain are often brought back for a "new" run at a lower cost than actual new books. At least they are in my neck of the woods. Maybe it's a local thing.
