Yes. I doubt that a $1000 garment costs $900 more than a $10 one to make.
Some charge what they think the market will bear and some charge less hoping to make money on volume. Why should publishers be different.
I feel that I actually get more value from an ebook because of the convenience, but many don't feel the same, so they wisely stick to paper.
Of course I would like everything I buy to be cheaper but not going to happen IMO.
