DMcCunney, I took the poll question as being ebooks should be more expensive than the paper version, since the poll showed "More expensive than the printed book" as an option. If they want to have it being the same price as the paper book, ok, but I will not pay more than the paper book, especially with DRM restricting what I can do.
You and everyone else I know feels the same way. The bottom line seems to be "The ebook should not be more expensive than the mass market paperback edition."

I can see areas in which this may not be true down the road. For example, the ePub format is a container. It can contain more than text. It's possible to produce an ePub edition delivered on CD or DVD, that would include an audio version of the book, a video interview with the author, a gallery of art inspired by the book, and other things besides the actual electronic text. How much should that cost? More than the mass market paperback, for sure.
