Since I don't have a huge budget for books I view myself as a bargain bin shopper. If I can get a book for a good price I'll buy it. So I can't see any problem with waiting a couple of months for a new release to reach a price point I'm comfortable with.
I think it's early days yet to judge and condemn the publishers for their agency model. $15 for a new release seems reasonable provided that they follow through and discount their books as time goes by to match paperback prices or the $5.99 price they seem to promise.
