What do you base this statement on?
On sites like Sony's, ebooks generally cost more, than for what I can purchase a paper copy elsewhere. Even at $10 in the Kindle store, it is still often more expensive, than a paperback version.
I believe the price of ebooks has to be adjusted downward, to reflect the savings to publishers. If this happens, most interested readers would be more likely to pay, than to "pirate."
