The fact that a lot of ebooks are the same price or more expensive than the printed copy only makes this argument more vaid

Somehow I do not think so.
I have little room as it is for my paperback and hardback collection, buying more dead tree versions is not feasible for either my wife or myself.
If you do not like the price of ebooks, do not buy them. Pretty simple really.
I shop around and read a lot of indie author ebooks which rarely cost more than US$7-8, which is roughly $10 cheaper than a new or used paperback.
Digital books are the future, not bulky hard cover books.
