Take, for instance, my recent experience with Tor releasing the newest Wheel of Time novel by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson. The hardback came out and I went to Tor's website to ask about the release date for the ebook. I was told the ebook would not be published for a YEAR. Now, why would I wait a year for an ebook when it's available now on the darknet? Publisher just screwed themselves (and their author) out of a sale. And now I buy all Tor books second hand or pirated.
