I'm sure that's part of the reason for high ebook prices but I suspect the publishers major reason for high ebook prices is concern about devaluing books. If you can buy the latest ebook for less money the price of print books will decline too, and that's probably pretty scary to the publishers.

Likely the publishers worry about a future where books sell for a lot less than they do now. And that's probably a realistic fear.
