Hey, if there is something special in an ebook above and beyond the paper variant, but all means pay more for it ... only fair.
But if it is just text versus text or has features that the huge majority would never use, then why shouldn't the ebook be cheaper? Very easy to do two versions in any case, and no reason whatever for the majority to subsidize the few.
