Checked and I am seeing savings of about 15% on e-books over new paperbacks, so I stand corrected. I tend to buy used paperbacks which are cheaper than both. Still, seeing as you don't actually own the ebook, then the 15% seems less of a saving...But that's another story.
My comment re: low e-reader sales stands. I don't see much new adoption of e-readers around me. Usage seems to be static. It's mainly upgrades now. That's anecdotal, but I've seen no data to suggest otherwise. Waterstones' comment agrees with that.
