For the obvious reason that there are no physical manufacturing costs and "shipping" amounts to a penny a megabyte (and that's being generous by rounding up!).** We therefore expect it to cost less than the $8.99-$10.99 the equivalent mass market paperback for
back catalogue books. $2 lower than the paperback price would satisfy most, I think, and still give the publishers the same amount of profit as they would get off of the paperback version, even after they paid for their DRM.
** Editing and preparation, converting to the various ebook formats they wish to support and to the format their printers would need, would cost exactly the same.
