I really can't agree with that. I buy 3-4 ebooks a week, almost all from BPH's, and they are virtually all significantly cheaper than the paper equivalent. Typical price of a MMPB in the UK is £7.99; typical price I pay for an ebook is £3-5, and that's including VAT, which paper books don't have. There really is a significant saving with ebooks.
