If it will be available in a month people are loosing money. If the hardback is available but not the ebook people will be loosing money if you buy the ebook from another market instead of buying the hardback locally.

And since the paper book sale is still 90% it is still rational for the publishers to have the market split since it maximizes the income for authors and publishers.
