I wonder if anyone in the publishing business has considered selling eBook novels for $15 (or whatever the current price is) until the paperback version came out and then dropping that eBook to $10. Then those who wanted the book early (as they used to with hardbacks) could pay the higher price and those who traditionally waited for the paperback book's release could pay a "paperback" weighted price for the eBook.

That's basically what they are doing. Ebooks track the current paper price, be it hard back or mass market paperback.
Uncompromising Honor - Kindle $5.99, Mass Market Paperback $5.99.
Smoke Bitten (upcoming Mercy Thompson book) preorder prices - Kindle $13.99, Hardback $19.60
Silence Fallen (previous Mercy Thompson book) Kindle - $7.99, Mass Market paper $7.57.
