Thank you! I hadn’t realized that the ebook was basically capturing those wanting to spend less. I appreciate the information and hope that the Libraries I’ve contacted will get me a copy 🙂

@Rachel – in the old days you started with the more expensive hard cover to capture people who really wanted the book at the higher price point. Then paperback came later to give people a cheaper version of it (especially if there was a revealed market for the book – it’s cheaper to print higher volumes of paperbacks). Nowadays plenty of books are published as paperbacks first (a lot of fiction, for instance). And there’s already a cheaper version of most books in the form of an ebook. So people don’t have to wait around for the paperback. So I think a lot of it’s just based on tradition. My publisher is mostly a business publisher and they’ve historically printed the first edition as a hard cover…
