How hard is that?

When the paperback comes out, reduce the price of the ebook to match the paperback price.

Once paperback sales fall off, release the price of the ebook once again to encourage more sales.

Once the paperback goes out of print, reduce the ebook price again since it will now be back catalog.

One should think it was easy, but apparently not. What could they lose if they sold it at the same price?

I could always turn back to the method I used before the Reader: the library
