I do not use any of these these things (I lend books but that is not why I buy books). But I like the extra portability of ebooks and the search and annotation facilities. So I am willing to pay extra to be able to search and annotate because of the electronic format.
So I do not see why an ebook should be cheaper from my point of view.
I really do not understand arguments about what the price should be. Electronics and books are more expensive in Europe than in the USA but I do not see any arguments that this is in any kind morally wrong or wrong in any other way.
