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.
And I'm not saying my experience is universal. I am however disagreeing the blanket statement "Ebook prices are still a lot lower than pbook prices."

Can we drop it?
