Charging the same feels predatory.

Agree with that. Books are still a product with manufacturing costs. There is no convincing me to pay the same price for a product that doesn't have them anymore. There is just no getting arround that.
It's sad when I read people ready to buy a PB if the ebook is at the same or higher price. That's exactly what they want. Keep the old model going...
I want ebooks, and I want them at a fair price, which is lower than the PB when the book is in PB.
I haven't bought a HC in years so I don't mind waiting a few months but I won't be blackmailed into buying a paperback instead of an ebook. That will be a lost sale for them.
That's the only power I have, that we have as consumers, I don't intend on loosing it...
