Why pre-order?

If you are waiting for a book of a favourite author, you have an opportunity to buy it "in advance", then at the sale start date, you will receive a letter with notification about book release to the e-mail indicated upon purchasing, and the book itself will wait for you in My books section.

After execution of a preliminary order, the book will be put in My books section with a mark Pre-order, but you will not be able to download it or request the file to your e-mail before the sale start.

The price for a book is often reduced for the books available for pre-order. After the sale start, the price is increased.

This rule doesn't apply to particular publishers' titles, mostly the major English ones.
