Why on earth not? You use the term value here as being synonymous with price. Clearly paper books are worth just about zero to Barry. And to me. I don't "value" them and I won't pay anything for them (with a few exceptions). There are many factors involved in setting a price, even in a "market" controlled by evil oligopolists. Of course I personally am prepared to pay more for an ebook than I am prepared to pay for a paper book. This is because I am not prepared to pay anything for a paper book. It does not follow that the price I am prepared to pay for an ebook is equal to or more that the retail price of the paper book I don't want.
