The value of an ebook is less to you. That’s a critical qualification. So, don’t buy them. Nobody owes you ebooks at the price you think they’re worth.

I prefer ebooks and hence their value is higher.

I don’t mind revisiting this argument and those who are tired of it are free not to participate, but what does tire me is the assumption that costs are the only factor in pricing, with a heavy dollop of “I want them for less, therefore they should cost less.”
