That is true, Harry, but there are times where people would be willing to pay more for the first peek.
I hate to bring Harry Potter into this, but there were a LOT of people who would have been more than willing to pay extra to get the "first view" of the books. There IS a market for this type of pricing, if rather a narrow one. And as ftorres said, it is "found money" as the draft is already completed.
I actually would find that kind of selling scheme practical--hard book pricing before the hard back, paperback pricing matching the hard back release, etc. dropping in price incrementally as the other formats come out.
Just as some people always want the hard back book because it is first release and others will wait for the the book in the clearance bin.
