Yep, not fair, but not surprising. As the market grows and sales lag on books priced more than the cheapest print version pale in comparison to books priced at or below the cheapest print version, pricing will work itself out.
People who want every book to cost less than the cheapest print version will probably remain out of luck, but I'd say eventually most every e-book will cost at most the same as the print version.
But it will be annoying until then. But there's still a ton of books priced at or below the print versions, as well as free books, so I have plenty to read at prices I can live with in the meantime.
