The problem with using the price of the paperback editions is that the BPHs are using these non-mass market formats that they can then try to justify keeping the prices higher then $7.99. All it is is price gouging for paperbacks that just are awful as they look funny, don't feel good to hold, and don't fit in the bookcase.
So if we go my mass market prices for pBooks when in paperback (no matter the cost/format) and hardcover, It wouldn't be unreasonable to say $11.99 for the eBook when the pBook is in hardcover and $5.99 when the pBook is in paperback (any price, any format as long as it's paperback). This is for current books only.
Backlist eBooks when the pBook is out of print, $3.99.
