Yeah, but purchasing the hardback now from amazon is cheaper than buying the paperback on the day of it's release

Oh, and when I went shopping for the book the other day the store had a display containing both Eragon and Pattern Recognition - both books I couldn't find when they were the selection.
I'm happy if you want to push back the date, but with the 60% off the price of the hardback at amazon, I know I wouldn't bother waiting.
