A theory that seems eminently plausible to me. And given how much profit there can be on an overpriced hardcover... perhaps it is even a sensible one... despite being contrary to consumer interests.

That theory doesn't seem plausible or sensible to me. Have you seen our MR poll on the topic? Even if x% of those book sales would have been hardback (hardly likely), then the profits of those sales would be eclipsed by people getting a pdf from the darknet, which in this case was available the day of the release.
