Is happening, or at least close to that, with Tor eBooks in the UK.
Peter Hamilton's SciFi trade paperbacks sell with a list of £8.99-£9.99, the eBooks are selling at £3.99.
Neal Asher's have a print list of £7.99, eBooks sell at £3.95.
And I've bought several of them, which I wouldn't have done if they were priced at £6.99.
