Possibly. As an example, my most recent purchase was "August Heat" by Andrea Camilleri, a book in the "Inspector Montelbano" series. The Kindle ebook was £4.29, the paperback is £7.99. Ie the ebook is 54% of the price of the paperback. This is typical for the books that I buy.

I'm certainly not saying that all ebook are cheaper than their paper equivalents. I am, however, disagreeing with the blanket assertion that "ebooks are now more expensive than pbooks". Some may be, but it's clearly untrue to claim it as a universal truth.
