I have no intention of trying to price the Kindle eBook - I was just demonstrating how different the pbook and ebook distribution cuts can be.
I only need to take into account your second point if I'm trying to give the consumer the same value for ebook and pbook sale. I was looking at it purely from the publisher's point of view.
But looking at it from the consumer's point of view, I think a (nearly) 40% discount off the paperback price is reasonable ($12.99->$7.99). Obviously I didn't price the ebook to get the same cut.
