Indeed, if you're going to buy anyway there probably is no downside. I think it's just one of those things; call it habit, foible or whatever. I suspect part of the habit came about because I tend to think of ebooks as one of those instant gratification things, and pre-ordering doesn't fit that model. Combine that with the fact that my reading is very much mood based and when I see something is not yet available, I just shrug and move on.
