Let's wait until the policy is supposed to go into effect before complaining that they are not following it.
The problem with that argument, as I see it, is that MacMillan is currently setting the wholesale ebook price to the various booksellers. If they wanted the retail ebook price to be comparable to the MMPB price, they would have already priced the wholesale ebook price to match. Given that Ender in Exile is a $14 ebook at MacMillan's website, $14 is what they think the ebook should cost, not $7.99.
