If anyone wants a price comparison between ebook editions and hardcover and paperback editions - go ask Baen Books. They have been selling all of their books as ebooks since the late 1990s. As costs have gone up for producing the digital editions, they have raised their digital edition prices accordingly.
I just wish all the other publishers out there would follow their pricing scheme. They make reading new books affordable! I stopped buying new ebooks from anyone but them when I discovered that new hardcovers in the store cost about the same, but the digital edition of the Baen book was $4. and the other book was $16.99! Came out the same month, roughly same # of pages. Can you say price gouging??!
