Thing is, I don't really see the problem with e-book windowing. I've been dealing with windowing all my life, in the p-book realm. The expensive hardcover comes out, I wait a year, I get the much more reasonably priced paperback. I would never expect the paperback to come out at the same time; I'm financially rewarded by being patient.

So I don't really have a problem with e-book windowing. It's the same system. I'm not entitled to getting the book as soon as it comes out in every single format.

What's kinda nice is that they're not doing windowing in quite the same way. If I want the e-book while the hardcover is out, most of the time I can get it. Most of the time I'll end up paying more then the hardcover because of the bloody no-sales policies, but it's possible.

If I wait until the paperback (Or MMPB to be precise) comes out, I get to buy the e-book usually for around 10-20% less then the equivalent MMPB. Fine by me.
