It would be very easy to do that, but then the publishers would be back in the position they are in with real books -- one buyer, several readers. The real money is in one buyer, one reader. If they priced them at second hand paperback prices (from Ebay/Amazon, not jumble sale prices), they would tap into an income stream that they are currently losing.
