What's the stat? One book is read by five people? So ebooks should be 1/5 of the price (or something along those lines).

That's not a flaw of e-books themselves, but a flaw of current DRM schemes.
The solution isn't to bitch about wanting to pay less for e-books period. The solution is to bitch at publishers to drop DRM, or to change it to allow loaning like the Nook can, to develop a system where you can sell/give a book away and transfer the license from your account to someone else's etc.
