The formula for newcomer success involves print as a secondary "show the flag" format and to make the ebook look cheap. One author I saw refers to her print editions as the "holiday gift edition".
Proper pricing varies by genre but for SF&F a $4-5 ebook looks really good next to a $13-15 POD pbook. Even better next to $10-13 Hachette ebooks.
