What I find amusing is that they could hold back the release of the ebook until the paperback version comes out (or skip the paperback entirely, since some books never sell enough to make it to pback). But they don't. Why is that?
Because they know that they need to make sales on their release marketing, and they are making money on the ebooks. They just want more.
I have no problem with a delayed release to ebook format - they already do it to paperbacks, and that is their choice. I am still not going to buy the hardcover, and I am certainly not going to spend more on the ebook than the hardcover (which happens at Amazon sometimes).
