I agree, this is a sensible approach - though of course due to the lack of a physical entity people do still feel the want for a cheaper price to justify the "absence".
In our publishing, the print edition is actually a lot quicker/faster to produce than the eBook, mostly because our workflow toolset is geared to high quality print production (Postscript / PDF output), so producing an eBook actually requires another processing step or two.
*EDIT: Sometimes the significant price difference at a domestic book shop can be attributed to the higher shipping costs involved with moving a few tonnes of books around. Shipping works out to be about ~$2 for a 450g paperback here.
