The price of the eBook is only $5 cheaper than the print book, it should be a whole lot cheaper!
Depends on the book. If it is cheap to mass-produce a print book, then the price is going towards the publisher, author, etc.. The ebook doesn't have to be a whole lot cheaper.

The price of a book is the thousands of hours that the author, editors, reviewers, proofreaders, and publisher put into creating and honing a clear, well-written book. It's not so much the physical cost of the paper and glue.
Of course the exception will probably be the 43 pound cook book (here) which takes up insane amounts of ink to make (4 pounds of ink).

Impressive! And lest it seem I was stealing your response, I wanted to back you up on your correct thoughts. Smile
Keep in mind that any sort of book printing, even sub-1k scale, is becoming ridiculously cheap. It only takes around $1 to print a 300 page paperback, plus shipping. Hard cover books are around $5. A $5 difference between print and electronic is quite a reasonable difference.
