Interestingly enough I just ran into this dilema. I really like Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. The eagerly awaited 11th book just came out this week. The hardcover once you factor in various vendor discounts, coupons etc. can be found for about $14.75. (on B&N and Amazon, similar on Borders). The ebook is $14.99 and I can't use any coupons on it. I absolutely refuse to pay more or even the same price for a digital copy of a book than for a hard cover copy. I will probably buy the hard cover (because I don't want to deprive Ms. Harris of the revenue) and find a digital copy "elsewhere" for a whole lot less.
Once again this is where if publishers were smart they would listen to those of us who keep bringing up the idea of bundling. I would be more than happy to pay the full hard cover price plus maybe up to five dollars extra for a hard cover book bundled with a digital copy of the same book.
