Even that is diminished, though.

If it's on sale today, it'll be on sale again in a few months.
But yes, the eternal availability is shifting the shopping pressure from new releases to sale priced backlist.
It even affects the big "name" pbook authors when people know that by waiting a couple of months they can get the paperback a lot cheaper or a used hardcover for even less.
