I value ebooks more than physical books. So as I've said so many times before, it would be silly of me to compare the price of an ebook to the physical version of it that I'm simply not going to buy. Dollar for dollar, I find the current prices of new-release ebooks (by major publishers) to be more than a fair price for the enjoyment I derive from them--a bargain even. None of the rest of the noise matters to me. Cost to produce/distribute/store isn't anything I ever thought about when physical books were the only thing going, and I'm not going to start thinking about them now RE ebooks. It's not relevant to my valuation of the product.

The value, for me, has always been 100% in the content of a book (and my enjoyment of that content). I don't consider Ebooks to be an "addon" product. They're meat and potatoes. As such I don't expect to get the entree at cup-o-soup prices (even if most of the ingredients for the entree had already been purchased to make the soup).
