I didn't explain myself very well. Although the specific price of that paper book is not a consideration, the typical price of paper books in general is relevant. I expect an ebook to be cheaper than a pbook because I am (usually) getting fewer rights over it.

What I consider an averagely priced ebook is around £5. Anything over that is expensive, and anything less than that is cheap. For a paperback, the equivalent average point is about £8.

If in a particular case the ebook is £4 and the paperback is £3, I might well still go for the ebook, since I still consider it cheap and tend to prefer the convenience. I don't even tend to check the paper prices for my wishlist items.
