I don't buy that. Paperbooks provided more features like portability, weight, reproducibility, accessibility compared to stone tablets and yet were not priced higher. The only difference is that with paperbooks, the benefits of new technology were passed on to the reader, whereas with ebooks the publishers are holding on to the greater profits themselves instead of passing them on to the reader.
