good points, but i think for me, the absurdity comes from the fact that there's no correlation between digital format and hardcopy. am i being taxed for the conversion process? i think amazon does a decent job for most of their ebooks are much less (up to 80%) less than the hardcopies, i'm sure in some ways it's promotional to get more kindle users, but at the same time it's also a better medium for them to sell books so the volume of books sold and the savings they achieve from not having any inventory allows them to price this competitively. plus, not to mention, a consumer must think of the total costs associated with purchasing digital content, the viewer, whether it be computer or device.
