A high price for a big new bestseller is not the problem. The problem with ebook pricing is that publishers and retailers still need to get their act together to ensure that the ebook price comes down in parallel with the physical price as the book moves into discounted selling windows.

If it's reasonable price windowing and you haven't alienated your consumer yes. When you're pricing too high it's an insult. Especially when it's priced higher then a hard copy physical book. Amazon had the price right. It's higher then most consumers think the ebook should be priced but they obviously had done the market research.
If it's a physical product that they can't get in any other way yes. When you can get it for free from the library or from other means, no.
My examples were just to show that it's not just people posting on internet forums that are angry about the pricing. Talk to people on the street and you'll find out pretty quick what people think.
