I've noticed on some of the backlist books I've purchased that a new trade paper edition and a digital edition are released at the same time (e.g., The Best of Everything, 5/31/2005; The Winter of Our Discontent, 8/26/2008). These books aren't just being OCRed to rush into digital form; they're going through the production process to be reset and proofread and formatted, so there are costs. Still, the prices are pretty high--and in both these examples, the e-books cost a bit more than the trade paper books at BN.
