Yea, it seems to me ebook also removes the problems of having to guess a good print size and logistics and worry about left over stock if it doesn't sell. They don't have to worry about used books cutting into their sales either.
Also I don't see why would they have to sell the ebooks right off at paperback prices. If Amazon wants to do that and take a loss, I would think producers happily take their money and extra sales? For me something like $19 at first for average fiction book would be ok for first few months, then drop it to <$10.
