I remember seeing folks on the Amazon Kindle forum insisting that is what Amazon advertised, that Kindle books would be less expensive. I’m pretty sure those users were wrong, but there was no telling them that.
Ebooks are not a byproduct or fad. They offer many benefits over print books. Expecting them to be priced lower is unrealistic. Many users, myself for one, are willing to pay more for a digital book. It is worth more to me, because it is better.
Font size control, built in dictionary, multiple readers at the same time, instant delivery, many books in one device, and so on, make them worth more to me.
