My point was simply that some books by nature are more expensive and will carry a higher price, and the reasons for that will be true whether they are paper or electronic volumes.
I've seen a lot of what I can only call wishful thinking about how cheap an ebook can be, and still actually cover its costs and make money for the publisher.

I won't spend more than $5 normally on ebooks, but that isn't so much because they're ebooks, but rather because I don't like spending more than that on books period. At the rate I read, I couldn't afford to be spending $10 or more on a book (I make minimum wage, and read like 500 pages a day. Lots gets read, and not a lot to pay for it). Now, there are tons of books in my price range, so that's fine.
I do feel that ebooks should be cheaper than paper books, but really with no set price range.
