I agree that in the UK, the ebook is often much cheaper than the paperback but there are some where the difference is negligible - for example "Pow!" by Mo Yan is £11.17 in paperback and £11.12 in ebook, and no it's not a recent release. Been waiting for ages for it drop in price but it's not happening unfortunately.
I've also come across some pricing oddities (using New prices sold by Amazon) "Sin" by Zakhar Prilepin is £5.95 for the hardcover, £13.80 for the paperback and the ebook has just gone from £6.10 to £5.65.
