And what prevents you from cutting the price of the book in half several months later? This way you still get a big chunk at the beginning, and later you can still market it to the more price cautious population. My bet is that even if people know that the price will go down in 6 months, most of the current buyers wouldn't want to wait, and bought it at the higher price anyway. And the 'this shit is too expensive' crowd can wait and get it at a discount.
