As to the delay three months (or even 'till paperback time) approach, I don't have a problem with that at all. If publishers do continue to exist, then I don't see why this is such a terrible thing. I don't like it, much like i didn't like waiting for paperbacks.
I do think it's stupid, as a (possibly significant) % of their willing to pay customers will have already got their digital version by then, but personally my reading schedule would be no different to what it used to be. I used to buy some hardbacks from authors I really liked, but I hate the things for reading, so I was mostly a paperback kind of person.
