True, I forgot that.
I still think people are unreasonable when they say if a paper book is $10 that $2 would be a fair price for the e-book. Ignoring DRM issues which I agree lessens the value of e-books relative to paper books.
The difference in cost between e-books and paper books to publishers isn't great enough to justify that much difference in price.
At the end of the day, text is text unless you're a typography nerd. And if someone is like that, or really value the experience of reading paper books more generally to put such a different monetary value of the two--then e-readers are probably not for that person.
