I imagine the people who normally scan them aren't going to bother spending the effort to get them out in a few days, when they can just wait until the next week and have them distributed them.  But as Piratecat says, having that one week where the physical books are the only option - I bet that will make a big difference. The people that want the content as soon as possible will go out and buy it. The pirated versions don't show up any sooner than before - they show up later, if anything - while PDFs are available for purchase for those who want them. Everybody wins! Of course, I have no particular expertise in the field and this plan could have horrible fatal flaws. But it seems the best approach to me.</blockquote>
