I'm not sure, but it looks like the US doesn't have trade paperback new releases like in Australia,which, for me, would be the natural point of price comparism for a new realease book and ebook.

I had a look at Barnes and Noble/Amazon list prices of new release hardcovers and they seem to be around US$25, with their selling price being $16 or so. So a US $20 ebook would be more expensive than a heavily discounted hardcover for them. While paperbacks seem to have list price of around US$15 and are sold at anything from $9-12.
