Exactly this. I don't buy ebooks because they are cheaper than printed books, I buy ebooks because they are my format of choice. I wouldn't even know if the printed copy was the same price because I'm not comparing prices.
That said, it's different when it comes to my kids' ebooks, since they are not committed to one format over another. All those people that complain about the cost of ebooks should look at 100 page chapter books that cost $4-6 each! I guess I do draw the line somewhere; at that price, I'll buy a bundle of 28 paperback books for $50 rather than spend $5 on one ebook that is just over 100 pages.
