So let me get this right, you artificially delay a digital product in the hopes that the people who will buy a digital product will wait for 3 months, even though there would be no chance of anybody whose willing to buy a digital product waiting that long? And at the same time you stop producing paperbacks for those who don't want to buy digital? So your market is basically - people who buy hardbacks.
The RIAA and MPAA are looking for brave, bold thinkers such as yourself.
