I don't have any problems with the idea of publishers wanting to protect hardcover sales by not offering ebooks at mass market paperback prices as soon as the hardcover comes out.
What I have a problem with is publishers selling ebooks for significantly more than mass market paperback prices when the mass market paperback is available.
I don't mind the idea of paying hardcover prices (by which I mean the prices to which new hardcovers are discounted online) for ebook versions of hardcover bestsellers that are released simultaneously, so long as I have the same option I do with dead tree of waiting for the paperback release so I can buy it cheaper and knowing the price will come down if I do.
