I think that depends on what you are buying/renting, and how much you are paying for it. Paying the same price for an eBook as a pBook, I agree with you, why pay the same and get less?

Most of my purchases have been either books that don't exist as pBooks, or where I'm paying a fraction of the cost. If I've only paid 99c for a book that goes for $9.99 in pBook form, I don't mind getting less rights for my money.
I don't think I've paid more than $4 for an eBook, and at those prices the trade off is reasonable for me.
