No, you get off your high horse. Stop acting as if you and you alone are carrying your beloved authors by buying a HC at release. You think you pay the author? Think again. The author has already been paid. You are merely paying the publisher. If you wanted
your dollars to go directly into the authors pocket with a royalty check, then you must wait until long after the release, once the book earned out, and buy a book then (any format will do). Since you won't agree to that notion, then I will have to remind you that ALL customers matter and carry the author. Hard cover, paperback, and even library patrons. One exception is second hand, maybe.
