And that is basically it.

So, in a roundabout way, the more you buy the paper copies over the eBooks, the longer the prices will stay higher. But I'm obviously talking longterm here.
It is the other way around. If you are willing to pay more for an e-book than for a paper book, of course publishers will charge you more for the e-book. They would be foolish not to.
