I am all for Amazon doing discounts. But this dropping prices the same week (often the same day) of release is getting to be so common I'm surprised anyone is pre-ordering books anymore. I've seen where some people are blaming the author or publisher. I don't blame them for being upset, especially since people who pre-order are usually the die hard fans. But it's Amazon doing the discounts, not the author or publisher.
By dropping the price after it goes on sale they get out of the price guarantee, though thankfully I've read they've been offering people credits. I know they dropped the price on a DVD I'd pre-ordered last year and wouldn't credit me the difference even though the price dropped on release day. I ended up returning and reordering, but it was a battle (which is unusual as Amazon's customer service is usually easy to work with).
I paid more for the NR book, but I read it already so I'm not complaining.
