I wouldn't normally want to pay more for an ebook than a new paper book, because most paper books are way overpriced in New Zealand, and if buying from Amazon the postage alone is usually a lot more than the price of the ebook.

But there are some exceptions: if I am buying direct from the author then I don't mind paying extra; and if I had an almost-complete series as ebooks then I could probably be persuaded to pay extra for the final ebooks.

(I have 11 of the 12 books in Gene Wolf's Solar cycle but am missing the 7th ebook. Come on Tor, just publish Lake of the Long Sun and I'll buy it even if it is the same price as the hardcover!)
