90% of the complaints I have seen about eBook pricing in the past 3 months have made it clear that the problem occurs when the eBook costs either (a) more than $9 and/or (b) more than the latest paper version.
So, anecdotally, I would say that 90% of the posters here who think eBooks cost too much concur with this "reasonable" standard.
The other 10% have interesting things to say about backlist books, but that's a thornier issue.
