There are quite a lot of eBooks that do not drop in price once the paperback is released. It's a game and we are the losers. One trick the publishers use is they have the hardcover printed by one of their companies and then the paperback print by yet another company so they don't have to lower the cost of the eBook because the paperback and the eBook are from two different companies. They cheat, they lie and they steal. They don't always do what's best for the customer. They like having the eBook priced at hardcover levels even when there is a paperback edition. And now in order to keep eBook prices high, when they do print a paperback that matches the eBook, the paperback prices are inflated so the eBook price drops very little if at all.
