That's it exactly "timing is everything". There will always be those, like daffy, that are perfectly willing to pay a premium for immediate availability, while there are also a lot of willing to wait a few months for a reduced price.
Yes, there will be some people that want the reduced price and the immediate availability and some of them may go to the darkside for their needs, but I would venture to say that those people would have gone there anyway, regardless of price or timing. This is almost the same situation as exists with pBooks now, except that you can go to the library to get the hardcover if you really want to, but maybe publishers can sell eBooks to libraries in advance of the paperback pub date.
