Where is your proof about the value? Sure many publishers will use any excuse they can to convince us we should pay more.
And why 'should', don't you believe in fairness?
Most of us weren't put on this world to make someone a fat cat.
What I care about is Justice and Fairness as the guide to everything.

And you're still not being hard done by. You don't have to buy ebooks. If you truly see them as essentially the same thing, then why differentiate? Buy the one you feel is the fairer value and have done. Happily read your physical books. You can't have it both ways. You can't desire, prefer--whatever-the-heck you want to call it--ebooks and pretend that your preference doesn't translate into added-value in the economic sense. That sort of thinking is what's absolute rubbish in my opinion.

Well, I have a preference for ebooks, and according to all the facts I know, they should be quite a bit cheaper than physical books. So why would I want a physical book? You are really not making much sense.
I can agree, that if an ebook is cheaper, it is worth more to me, and so I will buy it if that equates to a fair price.
