I feel that an ebook may cost more simply because of supply and demand.....meaning that ebooks are popular and the "in thing" right now so they can get away with a jacked up price because people will pay it.

This!!
I agree with everything s1mp13m4n has said in this post.
I stated in another thread, I do not understand an e-book being 9.99 when the pb version is $7.99 - at no point can I see myself choosing the e-book. In fact, in the case of Amazon, they would lose that sale all together as I would rather drive to B&N or Borders and pick it up in person, instead of ordering it online.
Edited to Add: I do not have a problem paying the
same price for an e-book as I would a paperback, I just do not agree with paying more.
