But yeah as for fiction books, I think it's okay to charge a lot for a printed book, especially if it is longer. But for short books or ebooks,I think it should be lower.
I have said for yeas many times on this forum... I will happily pay the same for an ebook as you would charge for the paperback. But, not more... there is no reason to pay more.

If an ebook is priced more than the currently available published paper version available on Amazon I'm not going to buy it.

For example, if the only version out is a HardCover for $14.99 that should be the price of the ebook. Once a paperback is out for $9.99 that should be the ebook price. Once the paperback is priced at $7.99 that should be the ebook price. Well... you get the idea.
