I also don't have a problem with windowing - publishers can do what they like, and I suspect that they don't do this much because they want all the revenue possible when the book is released. But if it works for them, that is fine with me - I hardly buy hardcovers anyway, so I don't feel like they owe me my format of choice right out of the gate.
Personally, I think they should scale the ebook price with the market price for the available text, in whatever paper format it can be obtained, with maybe a discount for savings on distribution. The text had better be the same though, not some second-hand thing with typos.
I can understand publishers wanting to limit electronic sales because they fear piracy, or whatever. They will just lose sales, and when the e-friendly publishers start making money, they will change (of course, if ebooks are a losing business, they will languish, no matter what anyone says).
