HB are where the publishers make the most of their money, consequently, they don't want anything to interfer with that. They also believe that the people who buy ebooks originally bought hardcovers, so by delaying the ebook release, people will be forced to buy the HB to read the book. Most people will either check it out from the library, wait for it to arrive at the used book stores, or if they really want an ebook version, they'll go to the dark side to get it. The majority of the publishers really don't get what their customers want in regards to ebooks.
