I am another that hardly ever buys hardbacks. They are just too dadgum expensive. I did buy 5-7 of Harry Potter in hardback, but only because everyone in the house (okay, not DH, he doesn't read much) wanted them. And we have worn them out and they are falling apart now. But I didn't pay full price for them, either.
Since I live so far from stores that have books I only buy pbooks occasionally. I find I am purchasing ebooks more often, even ignoring the free books I have downloaded. So the publishers are ahead of the game with me in regards to ebooks. They are shooting themselves in the foot as far as I am concerned.
I know they want to maximize their profits, but please. And if they are trying to get back at/stop Amazon from the 9.99 scheme, they are driving away customers in the meantime.
