They don't "Want" to sell you ebooks. Hence they will charge whatever they can. And if they price the ebook so high that few buy it, guess what, they are happy about it.
They are in the business of selling paper, and that's what they want to do.
Whats worse they are very poor at it, the system has incredible amounts of waste built into it.
The only way to make it stop is to refuse to buy anything from anyone that costs more than the paperback would have. Support those publishers (like Baen) that support you.
Leave the rest to rot from within.
The digital revolution will happen, indeed is happening as we speak.
Publishers who won't work with ebooks and people who want ebooks at a reasonable price are just forcing consumers to the darknet.
Sabredog is right on the money.
