Windowing doesn't bother me particularly. I almost never buy new hardbacks, and used to wait (more or less patiently) for the paperback to appear. I don't mind waiting in the same way for the ebook, as long as it's priced at or below the paperback (it should ideally be a buck or two less, but I've almost given up on getting that fair a shake from most sellers). What really gets my goat is publishers who expect people to pay a premium for the ebook when the paperback has been out for months. In cases like that, I'll scan the paperback myself, if it's something I really want in an electronic version.
