If I look at an eBook, and my mind says to me, "that price seems too high", then I will go look at the price for the book in mass market paperback format, preferably used. I might possibly buy that if it is significantly cheaper. But other than a fallback in the case of an eBook already judged to be overpriced, the price of a paper book is no longer a consideration for me (although it was, in the past). e.g., if an eBook is, say, $5.99, then there is no reason for me to go check the paper book price. If the eBook is $10.99, then I will check the paper book price. Although I will, always, go check if the eBook is available from one of my libraries before considering purchasing it, no matter what it costs. "Try before you buy". If I can try it for free from a library, to see if I like the book, I will always do that. Then in the case where I really, really liked it, I may decide to go purchase it (I rarely do, since re-reading is rare for me, but occasionally I will). I'm talking about entertainment novels here. Technical books are a totally different story.
