If you dropped the printed book entirely, the cost saving would not be enough to permit the pricing you would like to see from traditional publishers.

I think publishers are lying us about paper books costs you mentioned. There are many ebooks which prices are half the printed books.
And if they believe on Laffer's curve, why they don't offer much more cheap ebooks?
Sorry, but I almost never believe what a seller says about what he/she/it sells...
