I was Barnes and Noble and saw Douglas Preston's new book "Impact" out on display. I had seen it on B&N's website as an ebook, but not available until May. Now, I know some publishers are starting to delay the release of ebooks until the Hardcover paper version has been out for 3 - 4 months but come on! Why not release the ebook version, but at the current Hardbound price? I can buy the book on B&N's website for $15.20, why not let me download it for the same price? I just don't get the thought process here...

Can someone explain it to me?
