The article quoted said that publishers appeared to have accepted that eBooks should be priced about 25% below paperbacks. The normal price for a paperback in the UK is around £7, so that would suggest a price of about £5.25 for an eBook. Amazon UK seem to charge on average about £4-£4.50 for the typical eBook, so that respresents a modest, but not catastrophic, increase.
