As I said, that is the listed price on Amazon for the paperback. While this example seems particularly egregious, it is not uncommon to see a paperback listed at a lower price than the e-book. I find myself not buying either version when they do something like this. I just don't understand the business model for this type of pricing. They won't kill the e-book market and it seems to punish the publisher more than anyone else.
