Personally, I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is when e-books are priced higher than dead trees, or when they are priced at the same price as hardbacks.
It should cost less to produce an eBook then a pBook. After all, once the eBook is made, nobody bothers to proof it like they do with the pBook. So all that cost of proofing pBooks is a savings when making eBooks.
