Delayed release of paperbacks and delayed release of ebooks are not equivalent. Delaying ebooks is closer in equivalence to record producers releasing downloadable music months after releasing the CD.
The only difference between a hardcover and a paperback is the quality of the printed book. An ebook on the other hand is not just a cheap hardcover. An ebook is a completely different media.
Likewise CDs are completely different media from downloadable music. I don't want CDs. I prefer carrying around my music collection on my phone. Similarly, I don't want paper based books -- hardcover or paperback. I prefer carrying my library around on my Kindle.
