Sorry, my statement was more a reflection on the current impact of piracy (minimal) than on the low cost of ebooks. Yes, ebooks could be cheaper, but if pirated stuff was freely and easily available I think most people would choose free over anything that cost more than a dollar.

Don't know where this experience is coming from, unless you're used to buying secondhand books. While there are exceptions, most of the major Kindle books I've seen are consistently cheaper than the paperback from Amazon. And that's before shipping. Don't bother posting examples; those could easily be exceptions, and you claimed "most", and neither of us can prove what the actual % is.
