Do you really believe that's going to happen? I know you're pro-publisher, but I'm here to tell you that business as usual with the publishers is not going to survive. Charging the same for hb as ebooks is rubbish. Making customers put up with all the various forms of DRM is crap. Delaying ebooks to make more money off hb is stupid. Every one of those acts makes piracy more attractive for those who are so inclined, for the rest of us it just makes things worse for the true customers.
If that's the path some publishers want to take, fine with me. I WILL NOT support you with my money! My choice.
