More like being stupid in many case, or unaware if you are feeling charitable.

In many cases eBooks area a small and underfunded part of a larger organisation, and as such, often get ignored or overlooked.

In others, the Publishers are afraid that eBooks are going to cut into their Paper Sales and as such, keep the price up.

In either case they lose a sale, as I'm not going to be ripped off, and often will not purchase the cheaper Paper version as I get pissed off with the publisher.
