If the ebook is cheaper then after I have read the ebook I keep it (with DRM I don't legally have any choice). This way the publisher benefits. I would suggest that the difference in price should be at least equal to the second-hand value of the pbook. For many pbooks that may only be £1 but that would be enough for me to buy the ebook over the pbook and I'm sure the publisher would still be making more profit and would be keeping second-hand books off the market.

interesting additional point. i wonder if the publishers have thought of that. you should write to penguin and tell them how you feel.
