These publishers are absolute idiots. Ebooks for 12 to 16 dollars just to support their outdated business model of the hardcover to paperback cycle.<p>I have a whishlist of over 1000 books on Amazon. I can just go through that list and wait with the newer ebook titles until they drop down in prices. This will be my &quot;customer buying pattern&quot; from now on.<p>Winners: 2 to 3 year old books and Amazon. Loosers: New books and the publishers.
