Well, I'm not so sure that the delay in ebook availability is such a bad idea. (Yes, I'm ready for the shooting to begin.

An American Editor where I proposed a new publishing model: do away with paperbacks and publish only hardcover and ebooks, delaying ebooks for 3 months. With such a change, several constituencies could be appeased, although there will be no appeasement of those who require instant access to everything.
