I really wonder if there has been any study about this. If you sell 3 ebooks for $10 to every 1 that you might have sold for $25 aren't you ahead of the game?
Frankly, I never bought hard covers. I never felt they were worth the price. There are so many back catalog books that I can read now...
Actually that's not 100% accurate. I have bought hard covers once they were moved to the "bargin book" section cause the paper back had come out, and they were usually priced lower than the paperback.
We have also bought the Harry Potter books in hard cover. But if I recall correctly they were only about $12 each not $25. (We bought 5 copies of Deathly Hallows and 1 audio version on CD.)
