Insane.

The list price for the hardcover of I, Alex Cross is $27.99. The price of the eBook is now $14.99. These publishers are basing the eBook price in the list price, not any sort of discounted price like you are getting from Amazon. So really, the problem here is that these eBooks cannot be discounted yet the print edition can be. So yes, we will have print versions being cheaper then the eBook. Take Sunborn for example. I have a 15% coupon for B&N. I can buy Sunborn for $7.23 (after tax) vs. $7.99 for the eBook.
