I believe there are several benefits to eBooks over paper that are perfectly reasonable to expect the market to pay for if they want those benefits, like cloud access, loss replacement, instant delivery, etc.
Ebooks offer value to those of us who want them, and I don't see any problem with the sellers charging for that value.
I've listed them before in other threads. I even did a poll about it.
Also, as I've said before, these are not charities or public utilities. They are allowed to make profit that's not directly attributable to a cost. If the public market doesn't want to pay the cost, it won't, and the sellers will adjust.
Regardless of all that, I'm still against the ways the publishers are attempting to handle pricing.
