Besides what Kris777 said, there is also the difference - you can lend others your pbook and you can resell it or give it to charity. Those options are foreclosed with the "same-priced" ebook. So, paper, ink, printer presses, cover art, delivery to store, stocking shelves, selling at cash register - same price for the ebook. Someone is not playing fairly - but I admit, so far, it is their ball and they can walk away or sell at a premium.
