We don't know the details of how the dynamic pricing will work, but the plan certainly seems to involve getting ebooks to 75% of the price of a paperback; just not simultaneously with the hardcover release.

No, Macmillan's plan involves paying more ifyou want it fist, and paying less if you wait, for some unspecified time with no reason whatsoever to believe it will coincide with any paperback availability.
In fact, given Macmillan's current gross disparity between TPB and MMB prices vs. ebook list prices for those same titles, there's little reason to believe Macmillan will reduce the price in anything other than geologic time.
