Bite me, hardbacks

I'm in a snarky mood anyway but I just found that book four of the Vampire Academy series will be published in hardback. Why does this tick me off? Because the first three have been published in trade paperback. I hate, hate, HATE when the publisher switches from paperback to hardback half way through a series just to squeak more money out of readers. Holy crap am I mad.

Just wanted to share my angst with the blog world.
