The cost of an ebook should not be arbitrary in relation to a physical book.
Why?

If you are not going to argue with my comment: "The price of a book is independent of the book's production effort. Fairness simply isn't part of the equation." Why should we expect ebook prices to be at all related to production costs when paper book prices are not?

It's really that simple.
