Is that the real reason why a hardcover costs more, or is it because it is a new release?
There is quite a lot of media out there that costs more initially, then in a year or two comes out in a cheaper version. I've seen that with books, DVDs, CDs and such. It doesn't happen across the board, but it does seem to happen. So, there might be a cost for being one of the first to get a book. Personally, I don't have a problem with that. I'm usually behind enough that I can afford to wait.
