I personally see nothing "dumb" about pre-ordering ebooks at all. I did it with the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible because I knew for so long that Harper, who holds the copyright, had not seen fit previously to publish it as an ebook, and it's long been my favorite translation. I also did it with The True Believer: Thoughts On The Nature Of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer, one of the most erudite and thoughtful longshoremen who ever lived in my opinion, because again, it was something I had wanted to see as an ebook for a very long time and was so pleased when I heard it was finally going to be published that I wanted to take steps to ensure I didn't miss out. After all, who knows but that these publishers might decide at any time to pull a Disney and and put the publication "back in the vault forever"?
