Production is the part of the cost where the closest parity exists.

How much does an ebook cost to warehouse, how much does an ebook cost to ship? Tell us about personnel detailed to walk a shipment of ebooks through customs.

It is disingenuous to suggest those factors cause the balance to somehow shift in favor of ebooks costing as much as pbooks.
