I buy a book on what it is worth to me, not what I think it should cost or what other versions of it are... so I had no problem paying the $9.99 price Amazon had one the book...it was worth it to me, and since i would much rather read an eBook than a paper book, am willing to pay more.

And while I wish they would simply realease all of the books now, I think part of their reasoning is that the publishers mistakenly are thinking that those new to (or who have not faithfully followed) the series will be the ones that buy the eBook and those that have been reading it in paper format will continue too... thus no reason to need to realize the current version before they previous ones are available. It does show a complete lack of understanding of the eBook market though.

I am disappointed in the length of time they have slated between releases of the books (it takes me a lot less than a month to read a book that size and I hate waiting for the next one, but that may not be true for many readers), I could find it acceptable if the reason they give (the time and work put into to make it "perfect") actually panned put. I have already found multiple issues in the formatting of the forst book.
