I personally feel this will blow over in time. Anyone can set a price on a service/good, but in the end it is only worth what people will pay for it. I for one would be happy to pay these prices IF I could lend my ebook, sell my ebook after reading it.
I agree that value is dependent on rights. If the publishers can figure out how to implement lending, selling, and donating - then their proposed pricing model makes sense.

Without those rights, their proposed pricing model for eBooks will get NO money from me. Used or borrowed paper books are too compelling, available, and cost effective.
