I agree, but I don't think the issue is the profit margin. I think that the public does not consider a download to be as valuable as a tangible object, whether it's a book or a record album.
In fact, I think that the public hold downloads in low esteem. I predict that if the publishers keep the price of eBooks high, we will see pirating just like we have seen for music.
