Any hardcovers I bought in my pre-Kindle days were from Costco at $14 or so, or book club editions. Waiting? I'm really good at waiting for those book club omnibus 3-in-1 editions of Jim Butcher or Laurell K. Hamilton (when she was still good). So if publishers think I'm going to buy a full price $30 hardback the day it comes out, they are sadly mistaken. For series that I already read, I will keep track and be sure to buy the Kindle eds. when they do come out, but if it's a new book or author, there's much less of a chance I'm going to remember to check back later to see that the e-book edition has been released.
