I don't think being on a seperate list will ghettoize ebooks.
Music charts always had a US and a UK chart without problems. It is just as likely that in time the ebook chart will be more meaningful and the hardback list will be the ghetto, as it is more likely that ebook data will give information closer to what people are actually reading over that period.
As for pricing, surely that has always been part of what chart data should tell you, publishers have alway had the option of selling their hardcovers for $10 to try and top the bestseller list, although I would prefer to see seperate lists for above and below $2.
