I would argue that ethically they are the same. In general, people are not buying the container -- they may have a preference over the container they use (ebook, paperback, hardback, etc.) but what they ultimately want is the content. So changing the container that you are using to distribute the content should be irrelevant to the ethical dimension of what you are doing.
