currently many of the publishers think that they should be able to charge more for the e-book than for the paper book, their stated theory is that the e-book is 'more convenient' and therefor worth more to the purchaser

IOW they trying to have theirs's cake and eat it too. They play “market” games with this approach which nullifies their initial bargain. At this point we suddenly get another choice: free PDFs and MKVs found on the internet. Convenience drives prices up but wider availability drives them down. I don't think the prices they try to demand will stay.
