Neil, I completely agree that the savings should be reflected in the eBook price. That is why I say that if they are not, then the eBook price is a gyp.
But don't you think that you see items for sale that are overpriced every day? Why should eBooks be any different? I don't think that eBook reader owners have a right to go through life without seeing overpriced products, although I would be happy if they never encountered said eBooks!
If everyone who owned an eBook reader emailed the publisher and used the word "gyp" in reference to his price whenever the case arises (We can have a thread here at MR devoted to only that!), I think the industry would get the message fairly soon.
