What would you consider to be a reasonable price for the corresponding eBook, assuming it to be nicely formatted, error-free, etc?
Paper books used to cost $7.99 here, now not so much (expect maybe on Amazon).

I am willing to pay the same price for an ebook that I would for a paperback book, but I am not willing to pay more for an ebook than I would for a paperback book.

I will not pay more than $9.99 for either (which is up from my initial $7.99 cap from a year ago), and I do not buy hardcovers.
