Sweet lord and a half, this conversation is wacky.
Right now, it's impossible to buy Under The Dome on Kindle. Even if you're a millionaire!
Why not give people the option of paying RETAIL PRICE for the book now, on the Kindle, and then reduce it on the 24th?
It's more expensive now because it just came out. If you don't want to pay more, you can wait until the price goes down. But at least you have the option.
If people are going to pirate it at $35, they're going to pirate it at $10 too. That's what pirates do, they steal things.
Here's an article about the price wars on this book from this week's New Yorker:

I see no reason to disallow people the option to pay full price for something that is only available to a small number of people who have paid $300+ for a special device to read those books. Ebook people are already a small section of the book buying public. Why make it harder for them?
To the not-a-real poll, I vote
