This point is a problem with all the ebook bookstores I think. Sometimes you see the price of the ebook as higher than even the paper book of the same title. And of course they have less overhead since they don't have to have stocks of paper, ink, etc. so why an ebook should be so expensive is a question I've never really heard a good answer to.
