That's a fallacy. If the paperback is priced at $7.99, then it is the same price as an ebook at that price. Now *IF* it has been re-priced to a lower amount...

I agree that it would be nice if Amazon, B&N, Apple and Smashwords had a 'rebate' program similar to Fictionwise's, but I haven't seen that yet. Not that B&N *couldn't* do this if one has a B&N membership card...
