Actually, what they are saying is that people will buy both the hard cover and the paperback (or ebook). If you leave the ebook out of the equation... How many people buy the hard cover and the paperback? If they bring out the hard cover together with the (more expensive than normal) ebook, I wonder how much less they would actually make... (I personally think they'd make more money than waiting with the ebook till the pocket came out...)
