* eBook should be released when the hardcover is, and at a lower price (but higher than the eventual paperback release)

* When the paperback is released, the ebook should be repriced lower than the paperback price.

Hear, hear!

I see the slight annoyance/difficulty in delaying ebook shipment to ensure that someone taking delivery in EDT doesn't get it at 9pm PDT...but if the release is only in North America, why not hold all release until midnight PDT then release all deliveries.

Whatever. I've ordered the ebook (for higher than hardcover prices at some retailer). It goes against the grain, but I got caught up in the moment. I just found and read the rest of the series a few weeks ago and am too eager to wait for a drop in price. A one day delay (on a more expensive version of the book) sticks in my craw a little bit...but I can deal.
