It's pretty ridiculous when the going rate for an ebook is $9.99. That's 3.5 times the normal price.

Because instead of all Kindle owners being forced to wait, it's "hey if you want it bad enough, pay the extra cash. if you don't want to get gouged, f**k off and wait until the 24th"?
If you don't think that would send the community into a tizzy, I don't know what to tell you.
It would set an even worse precedent than staggered releases are currently doing.
