* Ebooks do not have to be printed
* Ebooks do not have to be stored in warehouses
* Ebooks do not have to be physically shipped to various locations across the country and world
* Unsold Ebooks do not need to be returned to the publisher
* Ebooks do not need to be destroyed once returned
* Ebooks apparently undergo far less scrutiny than printed material, judging by the number of typos and other such errors present in them.
* Ebooks cannot be lent or resold the way a physical book can be, thus increasing the potential market for both ebooks and paperback books by eliminating the secondary market
These are the reasons I believe an ebook shouldn't cost as much as the physical object, and definitely why I don't believe they should cost more than $9.99.
