The story was an $8 story but the publisher caused negative value that reduced it to $1.99 territory.

Okay, if we assume a properly-formatted book (a stretch, I know), it should still include the cover art (maybe they could offer hi-res versions in the back of the book). The fact that you can buy, access and read instantly is a plus... portability is a plus... and possibly they could provide additional notes/comments in the ebook that aren't in the printed editions. That's a start.
Indies can provide all that, too.
