Except that sometimes there are financial benefits to it.

My husband enjoys the Jack Reacher novels and a while ago I preordered "Never Go Back" which is due to be published at the end of August. When it is released I will pay my special preorder price of $9.99 and he will enjoy it immediately. The price is currently $15.96 at Amazon and over $22 at Kobo so the saving in this case will be quite significant.

So my answer is that I do sometimes preorder but only when I can lock in a special price.
