Exactly...most people don't pay the retail price for hard backs. But the hard backs were sold in the millions upon millions for a good deal more than even the raised priced ebooks. There are those willing to pay the price and those, like me, who read something less expensive. It has always been thus. The competition isn't Harry Potter sold by Amazon vs, Harry Potter sold by Borders. It's Harry Potter verses The Hunger Games, or Twilight or The Hobbit...or verses watching Tv or going to the movies or playing video games.
There is huge competition in the space without needing the publisher to have to compete against themselves. The publishers have no power to over price a book.
