It actually made me laugh reading the big publishing houses trying to justify the 3 month delay. They are essentially trying to tell people that their business model requires them to gouge their best customers and there is no other way it will work. This might be the reality of how their business model has worked for the last 80 years but it's not really a good idea to tell the paying customers that.

This is a disruptive technology and it's not going to take a couple tweaks to their existing business model. It's a ground up re-evaluation of the the entire value chain and a complete new business model. I understand they don't like that answer, nobody that's been through it does. They have to wake up to the new reality.
