What goes around comes around

Today I have two recent books available on Kindle:  promotional price of $0.99 on the 47North (Amazon) book ($4.99 regular price); and $18.84 for the Tor book.

So the bookstores won't carry the paperback?  Tor forgot to publish the paperback of the first book in the series when the second one came out in hardcover.

I should worry?

It's the Monasteries versus Gutenberg all over again.
