As I've said on other threads today--I don't buy hardbacks. I've always waited for the paperback or gotten the book at the library. This doesn't change anything for me. I will continue to wait for the right pricepoint/form. If that form happens to be a used hardback at 4 to 7 dollars when the ebook or paperback comes out, then I get used and they miss a sale. If I want to read the book enough, I'll check it out from the library or wait.
They must feel that enough people will be "forced" to buy the hd. They've been depending on that strategy for years now.
