I agree completely with #1. With ebooks, there are no manufacturing or raw material costs, no transportation/storage, no inventory hassles or returns write-offs, etc. Authors can get royalties even with much cheaper prices. At least pass *some* of the cost savings onto consumers.
Of course, #2 would be awesome as well.
