They may notice. Will they know why?

And I don't think they're dumb. Ignorance != stupidity. We take an interest in such things, but I don't assume everyone else does. In general, the stuff we know is the stuff important to us.

I simply don't assume the majority of the book buying public is as savvy about publishing as the folks here. Why should they be?

And if the books they expect become unavailable or jump 50% in price, well, you can't buy a book that isn't available, and if prices go up, you adjust your purchases to fit what you have to spend. That will happen regardless of whether you know what might be behind it.
