I even sent a letter (much nicer in tone) to Lisa Lutz, who is the author of one of the books my wife could not purchase. I don't know if she'll reply, but if she does, I'll post it.

I thought Lisa Lutz was with Capital Crime...she must have changed or maybe I just remember wrong. :>) Anyway, thanks for posting this; I found it interesting. I think the publishers are leaving out the hottest buyers out there--the impulse, immediate gratification ones. They and the authors are likely to lose out in the long run. I know they want the rules to be the same, but this is a missed opportunity.
P.S. I also didn't know Lutz had a new book out. I'll have to look for it, but like your wife, I won't be buying a hardback. Maybe my library has it!
