I comment on this as someone who believes all your points, but also believes the price of ebooks should come down. Yes, tons of value in ebooks, I love them to death and my wrists praise them for the slim profile of my Kindle, especially when reading my 900-1200 page books. They're amazing, you can change the font size on a whim, and the battery life on the Kindle lasts longer than anything I have ever owned. That said, I don't believe the prices of ebooks should be "dirt cheap," rather marginally less than paper books. My logic is that there are less physical costs of an ebook, so the costs of an electronic version should be cheaper. However, it's still a young industry, publishers probably have not figured out a really efficient system for getting them into Kindles and Nooks and what not. That said, it will be quite a while for prices of ebooks to change, I am sure. It will at least need the scale of paper books to even think about getting there.
