That's another excellent point. The "perceived value" of a physical book is its cover price. The "perceived value" of an ebook is in not just its price, but also the cost of a reading device. It's seen by people as a high-end, premium option for reading, made worth it by the convenience factor. So Macmillan, seriously, shove it.
