I have never suggested that the ebooks are not pretty much always cheaper, my dispute was over the unequivocal statement of anecdotal evidence of how big that discount was as an absolute fact rather just personal (and very lucky) experience:
"It really is the case that, in the UK at least, ebooks on average cost around half the price of paperbacks."
Excluding sales and special timed offers that would skew the figures, I would estimate that the typical discount for me would tend to be something more like 20%.
