I agree.

When I would complain about pricing, it would be something along the lines of 'the mass market paperback is $6.99 and the ebook is $9.99.' But that seems much less common now.

Also, along with ebook has come the rise of the Indie author and REALLY CHEAP ebooks.
And there's this as well. I haven't sat down to work it out on a spreadsheet, but since I started reading ebooks, I now buy more books than I used to and spend less overall.

For the occasional $14.99 I'll spend on a new Stephen King book, there's been several '$0.99 for the series' omnibuses (omnibi?).
