The ebook value of title should be somwhat lower than the corresponding physical book. If a particular book is "remaindered" for $5, then the selling market value is $5 for that physical book title. Under agency pricing, the same eBook title should be sold for less than $5 as none of the material, storage, retail, etc costs apply. Buyers seeing a physical book selling much less than the eBook of the same title naturally feel swindled.
