By releasing them too early, they'll be in a position where the price will be expected to come down after a while, at which point they could make less money by selling the same number of copies. But if they hold out just a bit longer, they can really rake it in. Remember folks, business is all about maximizing profit.
That would be a stupid thing to do.
That's a bit like amazon and the kindle. If you wait too long, people might not be interested anymore.
And 15$ each is NOT a price I would pay for e-books.
