I'm sorry, but there's nothing "ridiculous" about selling a $35 book for $35. It might be/is higher than what most people would *want* to pay, but "ridiculous", no. If it was $750 then I would that that's a ridiculous price.
Plus the point I was making is it would not be the only option. If it's too high, go out and buy the damn hardcover book for less.
And I disagree that the "backlash from the community would be even bigger than not releasing it at all until the 24th". How is "if you want it that bad, here it is at normal retail price" worse than "screw you, Kindle owners... you can't get it for weeks... hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!"?
