That may be true for a series... e.g. I will read the next Terry Pratchett book (though I am deeply disappointed in the current one so that may change), but it is not
typically true. I usually am buying a book that either I don't know the series or isn't in a series (as in most non-fiction.) And I am very price sensitive, not because I don't have enough money - I probably average five $100+ bar-nights a month! - but because there's a sense of unfairness in paying more for the ebook than for the paperback or $11 for short ebook A when short ebook B costs $3.
The books may not be precisely interchangable, but there are trade offs.
