No, I don't. I am specifically talking about ebooks and when they come out at what price point. If the issue was the perceived value of hard back verse paper back, then publisher would come out with hard back and paper back at the same time. They don't. One year is roughly long enough where someone isn't going to wait a couple of months for the cheaper price. Jordan's widow was applying the same logic when she held off releasing the ebook versions of the last three volumes of the WOT series. If your logic were correct, then if someone releases a hard back book and the ebook at the same time and same price point, then no one would by the ebook, since the hard back has more "value". Yet, that is obviously not true.
