Are you sure about that? I've read (on this forum I think) that these supposed price-cuts are actually sanctioned/given by the publisher, not the reseller - but only apply to the printed book.
Why should B&N/Amazon care if you buy the eBook or the pBook, as long as you buy.

[edit] I don't have a budget for books - I don't plan, I buy when my guts say "this looks good". So cheap books are going to get my money. That's why O'Reilly is currently getting money from me every so often. Half-price eBook of a topic that interests me? Sold!
To stay on topic: As has been said, taxes and price-cuts on pBook are a big problem. They let eBooks appear more expensive for no reason.
