The physical books ported over have the lower price because they're comparable to the physical book. People have expectations about what physical books cost, but people buying the parrot e-books are looking for specific information that's not available in a bookstore. At that point they're buying specific knowledge, not a commoditized product. For instance, if I want to enter the import/export business, am I better off paying $99 to International Living or spending hours scrounging the internet, trying to sift what's real from what's fake, what's trustworthy from the scams, etc? If you value your time, informational e-books can be a lifesaver, even if their delivery medium (poorly formatted pdf files) is cheap.
