I'm generally paying £4-5 for the eBooks that I buy. The standard price of a paperback in the UK is £7.99, so I consider this (half the price of the paperback, or a little more) to be entirely reasonable.
The only situation in which eBooks tend to cost significantly more is when a book is newly released, and has only be released in hardback. In that situation, I'll always wait for the paperback release, at which time the eBook price will fall. I have such a long TBR list that waiting 6 months or a year is no hardship.
