Just to confirm, please answer the following poll-like question:
The eBook version of Under the Dome is being delayed until Dec. 24th. With this fact in mind, which of these two choices do you think is better?
a) NO early ebook options
b) ONE early ebook option to buy it at retail price

Did you seriously make a new account (Dils Islid) to back up your position?
It's pretty obvious where I stand and that's A. I would much rather have publishers stagger their new releases instead of thinking they can get away with releasing something at 3.5 times the normal rate for an ebook and double the rate of a hardback for a few months to rake the hardcore fans over the coals. It's still wrong but at least it is fair for all the ebook users.
Believe it or not, pirates are more likely to "steal" stuff if they feel like they are getting slighted and are more willing to purchase something if they feel like the company is trying to go above and beyond simple profits.
I don't understand why you keep bringing up the price of the device. I paid $200 for mine and it wasn't so I could be taken advantage of with outrageous prices. I'm not made of money. I purchased it so I could read free books, get a deal on new books and be able to carry around a device that's the size of a paperback.
