It all evens out in the end.
I think if people understood what goes into the price of a book, they would kvetch a little bit less (at least some would). It's all a mystery.

I personally have no issue with the ebook price being the same as the hardcover when it first goes public. My assumption is that the author is receiving the same royalties with either that first year. When it goes to paperback, the ebook price should not be more than the paperback.
