I'm in the same position. I have only owned my kindle for 6 days but I am damned if I'll pay more for an ebook than the physical. So I'm waiting for even modestly priced ebooks to come down to equal or below physical book price.
Having just read Shades of Grey I'm waiting for the rest of the Fforde books to come down to an equivalent buy price to the paperbacks.
Is there any sign of the VAT issue being resolved? This would help.
One other point is that I believe the walled garden, single bookshop, model of the Ebook is partially to blame for this. I can't just go to another Ebook shop and get a better price. The market isn't efficient and that's not in the readers interest. The physical book market is far more efficient hence the ability to get better prices.
