I never said ebooks COULDN'T cost less.

My point is, in the current market, they DON'T cost less. Newly released or any currently in print as pbooks.

And your example of Agatha Christie books is proof in point. The in print pbooks sells fo about 4, and the ebook sells for about 4. Similar pricing. If the pbook sold fo 6, the ebooks ould sell for about 6, because under current pricing, ebook and pbooks (actual selling prices) about the same.

Now for CRASY ebooks pricing, look at the last two Alistair MacLean's UNACO books, written by Hugh Hiller. NOT in print as pbooks. Just came out in ebook at $19.99. WTF?! Other UNACO books are out at $7.99.
