The ebook-buying public (in general) has clearly indicated that they place very little value in the ability to loan, resell, or donate the works of fiction that they consume electronically. Otherwise we'd already be seeing the price disparity you desire.
It's one thing to make personal financial decisions about what you value in a "book." It's another thing entirely to assume those values are in any way universal and should govern markets.
It's over. The public is clearly willing to pay a comparable (or very slightly less) price for ebooks that they do for print books. Does anybody truly see that changing in the the near future?
