Re price of eBooks, this whole web site is one big argument why paper should be cheaper. Obviously there are lots of people who personally prefer eBooks, meaning they have more value to them.

From a social utility standpoint, books should have expensive luxury versions for those who can afford them, and cheaper versions for those of lesser means. This works great with paper where one can choose between hardback, paperback, and used in a variety of conditions. Maybe there will be comparable differentiation in eBooks if interactive versions start appearing at higher prices than plain old eBooks. But, for now, the only real differentiation is generally higher prices for newer releases.
