2 litre soda is .99
20 oz soda is 1.60 but you get less. But you can carry it around easier, its not as bulky and weighs less.
I still don't like it, and think the prices could come down though.

I like your analogy. I think part of the pricing is based purely on the fact that publishers know folks spent $100 to more than $200 on these devices and that they will be willing to pay inflated prices to have content to play on their ereaders. No content - useless pricey device.
Back to your soda analogy - they also know that the backpack. briefcase or purse you carry has a slot for the 20 ounce size and so if you want to make sure of it, pay the higher price for the smaller version.
