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.
okay I concede the point to you, I took a hypothetical as serious.
