I, too, am disappointed that ebook prices for new releases are just about the same as on sale hardcover books. I've had my nook for a little less than a year... I had been expecting to pay $9.99 for new releases but prices keep going up and you basically get one read out of an ebook whereas you can loan or borrow hardcovers.
Thankfully, I subscribe to the not so Free Library of Philadelphia and have managed to grab a few new release ebooks there as well as many other authors I enjoy reading.
I would have thought the savings in printing, transporting, stocking, and selling "real" books would have resulted in more than a dollar or two discount.
All in all, I do enjoy my ereader.
