But with windowing, I don't have a choice. And it isn't the same as the hardback/paperback. That is the same format. I hope we end up with the same pricing structure as pbooks- early release of the ebook at one price, becoming lower over time.

This is what Macmillan is aiming for. They were only going to window new releases if Amazon wasn't willing to go along with that model.
