I just don't feel that ebooks are worth $15 or even $10. But that's my own perception and I'm sure many would disagree since we value things differently based on our own nature.

It's more like paying hardcover prices for a manuscript proofread and edited by a six year old in FrontPage Express and converted with Calibre.
I wouldn't pay
Hasselblad prices for
keychain digital camera, even though they both take pictures and it's the photographer's eye that matters most. Indeed, the latter camera is much more convenient and portable, just like ebooks. You will also save money long-term because you don't need to spend all that money on expensive film and developing/printing. Many people will well prefer the crappy but convenient digital keychain, but only a very very small number of early adopters would have paid $3000 for it.
