For what it's worth, this is fine with me, too. (Since we're polling!
)
I've always accepted that the higher hardcover price is largely about "newness" and "nowness" and not about the actual materials. As long as the ebook actually falls with the paperbook, I'm fine.
BUT. I have seen cases where... somehow?... the publisher with the ebook and the hardcover are different from the publisher with the paperback. And then Pub1 won't bring down the ebook cost to Pub2's paperbook. And that's not fun.
