Why can we *preorder* the ebook version of Under The Dome now... only to be released on Dec. 24th???

Before you answer, please keep in mind that THERE IS NO ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are us kindle owners being punished? I say "punished" because there is no other word for it.

Seriously.
That is why I am mad! And that is why I am thinking about downloading the dark version - I feel manipulated. I could understand pricing, or even inavailability, but holding up the release just because he thinks he can make us buy both versions steams me. And the price war has pretty much ensured no one will buy the book from an independent bookstore. If he wants to help the independent bookstore, raise the price he charges and then make a donation. Raising the price would have the added benefit of hurting the big box stores, which he might want if he can't manipulate us to purchase the hardback, with all its environmental issues, from an independent bookseller.
