Is there more work involved creating the ebook copy vs the pbook? There's certainly no more value in content between the two. The ebook is more convenient and has virtually no printing, packaging, shipping, or warehousing costs. You don't even need a physical presence (B&M store) for the public to buy it.
The only difference I see is that with ebooks, we're paying for convenience.
So no, I don't see any justification for ebooks costing the same or more than pbooks (as a newbie in the world of ebooks).
