I don't buy very many DTBs anymore. And those are almost exclusively non-fiction needlecraft books. If the ebook is higher than the DTB I don't buy either. It's not an either or for me. Fiction is a perfect fit for ebooks. One can natter on about losing special typesetting that contributes to the book but all I want to do is read a story.
For me, yes, ebooks can and are priced too high. You should see my Kindle wishlist, it's full of close to 50 ebooks that I'm interested in but won't buy because for one they are agency titles and secondly they are over my personal price threshold. I'm waiting for the price to lower and so far not a one has dropped.
