And yet a ticket to Transformers 2 costs the same as a ticket to The Hangover. Pricing, across all forms of media is rarely proportional to cost, it tends to be more market driven.

I too think ebooks are currently too expensive (especially in the UK due to the VAT issue already mentioned), but it's a debate with a lot of dimensions to it. Cost of production is only one of them.
