I have to wonder if it isn't because many big publisher ebooks are priced equal to or higher than the paperback version. It seems to me the lack of physical product to manufacture/warehouse/ship plus remainder refunds is not factored into the sales price. Setting prices based on fear of piracy (one reason I've heard for higher ebook prices) doesn't make sense to me since a pirate only needs one original and wouldn't be deterred by a higher price for that single copy. Those consumers who want to obtain pirated copies usually know where to find them.
