I would think that costs for electronic presentation, format, fonts etc would offset a little the costs of distribution and printing.
Having said that, I'm often pissed that a new ebook is sometimes close to 17-20$. I agree to pay more on a new release because I get a hardcover book of higher quality, but an electronic book?? What will be the difference between this copy and the one available 6 months from there? Nothing.
