I'd like it to work that way, but don't really think it does. As others have pointed out, the production cost isn't relevant. They should be priced at what the market will bear. If the demand for ebooks becomes greater than for paper books, they should probably cost more.
Back when movies were released on both VHS and DVD, if the DVD was cheaper to produce should it have cost less? Even if most people thought it was a superior product despite being cheaper to produce?
