I bought hardcover before owning my readers, but usually at a wholesale club where the price was close to half off the retail price (and that was at the same time as the release in bookstores). If they can sell it at that price, why shouldn't electonic sellers be allowed to do the same? I am perfectly willing to buy books as long as I'm paying a fair market price.
