Because when you pay $26 for access to a DRMed ebook you get access to that book in one format for a few devices, access that might go away at any time at the whim of the publisher or wholesaler or retailer.
When you pay $26 for a hardback, you get to own the hardback. You can keep it, read it anywhere you wish, loan it to friends, resell it.
