You're forgetting about the very large second hand market for paperbooks. There is no such secondary market for ebooks, so even if everyone who wanted to read your book was paying second hand paperback prices, you would still be better off financially.
You could also stagger prices, so that people who wanted to read it in the first few months of release would pay a bit more than people who waited, but that would most likely just encourage piracy.
