The cinema is free to charge $1 admission if they want, in fact I've been to several such screenings, well for £1 here
. Movies companies don't control cinema nor retail store prices.
When it gets to the DVD release, retailers are free to charge $1 if they want.
So in that sense to be like the movie industry, publishers should hold back the ebook release until they offer the paperback version. I wouldn't object if they did that, it's their right to do so. However I think it'd be just as silly a move as agency pricing and would lose some customers to other authors/publishers who don't do so.
