I think what some of us are trying to say is that they have the same value, because we just can't be bothered to drag the damn think back to the store. If it's worth $20 to read the book, then it's worth $20--regardless of format.

When it comes to markets, absolute value has little meaning. It's perceived value that rules. Obviously, some of us see them both as having the same perceived value. Others disagree. I can live with that. The relative sizes of those groups will eventually determine which way the market goes.
