Anyone who really really wants the eBook version immediately (like me) can buy it for the normal book retail price (That's not the most outrageous thing in the world!). If that's too high, they have options... they can buy the hardcover or wait a few weeks for the cheaper ebook.

But then you would have one of those people buy it at $35, break the DRM and reupload it. And I do think it would result in lost sales (don't get me wrong, piracy doesn't always equal that) since the price would be ridiculous. The backlash from the community would be even bigger than not releasing it at all until the 24th.
