But disagreement is fine; if we were to have a truly functioning market for ebooks, proper pricing would follow.

I also think that the idea that all books (real or electronic) should be sold at the same price is somewhat strange; again, let a functioning market set the price. There are some books/authors I would pay more for, some less.
