I am pretty sure "ebook" on this thread is talking about the content not the container. eBook readers are certainly expensive but it is a one time expense and the price will come down as the market expands and the technology improves, as is true with all tech.
It is the ebook (file) that is being complained about as expensive. Actuallly, most tech ebook sellers recognize that the ebook should cost less. Both Manning and Pragmatic sell tech books. The PDF only version is usually $10-$15 less than the shipped pbook.
