I prefer ebooks and hence their value is higher.

I subscribe to the theory that DRM (and really, the whole licensing model) is defective by design. I'll buy them, but I value them less than formats not encumbered by DRM (e.g. If a game is available on both GOG and Steam, I'll get the GOG version).
Note that the value in eBooks for me lies in mostly them not taking up space (I live in a small apartment with limited shelf space) and that physical books can be a bit awkward to handle with a physical disability.
