» quasar - Price of eBooks

It's about time prices have started dropping. I refuse to pay paperback prices for electronic books, especially when there is so much quality free stuff.

eBooks cannot generally be loaned and they are cheaper to produce. Why should I pay the same amount of money for them? If the restrictions on loaning/reselling books were lifted (and yes, I understand why they are there, but it doesn't mean I have to like it or pay for it) then an argument could be made for the same price. Even then, since expenses are less, a good case could also be made for keeping them cheaper.
