If the publisher is going to market eBooks like they were pBooks, then we'd get one price and one price only since the container never changes.
You can pay a premium to read a book when it's first released, or wait a year and buy the same book at half to a third the price. I have absolutely no problem with that, personally; exactly the same is done with many products - DVDs, for example.
