With ebooks, though, there can be fine tuning of when to lower the price. As long as an ebook is selling at a certain rate at a certain price, publishers will keep the price there.

Fair enough. I'll admit that I haven't paid that much attention to whether or not publishers were doing that. I have bought one or two books for around £3 that were written by a relatively well-known author, and not self-published. I honestly had no idea whether or not that was common.
My point was that it is possible to compete with second hand paper books. The books I bought for about £3 were books that I'd have bought second hand in paper, and now that I've got a Kindle, I'm happy to pay £3 for them as ebooks.
