Well, could it be just as simple as basic math when it comes to prices of ebooks... Could it be that there is no reason for publishers to lower prices on ebooks based on profit per book per unit of time. With ebook market being a new frontier they will make more money selling books for 15$ than they will if the price is 10 and more people buy it. let look at math, with ebooks just starting to gain popularity we only have limited amount of devices and limited demand, lets say ebook cost 5.00 to produce, if they sell 1000 books at 15 dollars it is 10000.00 profit, if they would sell it for 10.00 and only 150 extra people want to buy it at that price it only puts 5750 in thier pocket. So i think, and i hate to be devils advocate on this one because I do buy ebooks, untill they will see that they can make more money at cheaper prices based on volume, we will not see `cheap books`.
