I'm not concerned whether the publisher's price is "valid" or not. They can charge what they want, and I can decide whether or not I want to make that purchase or not.

And ebooks are selling well. Lots of people seem to see the value.

Yes they are. They are selling for less than the paper copy.

And by buying ebooks that I want, I'm casting my vote for authors and publishers to offer more ebooks like those I want at a price I find acceptable.

Then by all means, buy what you want.

No telling from that. Those books may have sold if they were priced higher.

It does indicate that the publishers think that they are maximizing their revenues by selling the e-book for less than the paper copy. Perhaps they are mistaken, and publishers don't always make ideal business decisions, but for them to be wrong in such overwhelming numbers seems unlikely.

No flaw in not buying something you feel is priced too high. I'm all for lower prices, as long as quality doesn't degrade with it.
But I've been pointing out the flaws in your reasoning for making that judgement based on price of a paperback.

attempted to.
