Curious about where everyone stands on this from the publishers standpoint:

Since a title (or a copy) is distributed to many different readers over time, is it suitable to price an eBook title higher than one would for standard retail distribution? How does this work in print, and can we even compare the two formats?

In a brief amount of research, I've found reports really range, from going off the hardcover list price all the way up to 300% of the print copy (wow).

Obviously an interesting and ever-evolving topic for debate.
