When the paperback comes out, reduce the price of the ebook to match the paperback price.

Once paperback sales fall off, release the price of the ebook once again to encourage more sales.

Once the paperback goes out of print, reduce the ebook price again since it will now be back catalog.
I totally agree. I'm fine waiting for paperback releases (and the subsequent reduction in cost of the ebook), but it really irks me when you can buy the paperback cheaper than the ebook.
