I also haven't seen many signs that the publishers are dropping the prices of non-fiction ebooks after release, either.

I think you have it about right. What is hard to anticipate the role promotional discounting and possibly increased ability to share ebooks will have. I still am convinced that the proper comparison for ebooks is paperback books.
