In many ways an eBook is a premium product. Instant delivery, no trek to a book store, no hunting around in a musty used book store, immediate access to an imponderable number of books, convenient storage that doesn't gobble up your living space. You could just as well argue that an eBook ought to cost more.
I wasn't interested in the view from the publishers point, only the consumers. The consumer decides what they think is a fair discrepancy.
