If I buy paper, I have something that I can resell. If I buy electrons I cannot resell them when I am done. Therefore, the value to me of the electrons is lower than the cheapest available paper format. Setting the price of a Kindle book higher than the price of a readily available mass market paperback is a significant deterrent to buying a kindle (not that the Connect Store is noticably better).
Amazon has no excuse since they sell the paper editions and so have the ability to set the kindle prices at a reasonable discount to the lowest paper edition automatically.
