I'd like to see a real cost analysis comparing both media. Paying the same price still seems way high.
I found this blog where one person did her own analysis a couple of years ago. Granted, her numbers for these romance novels are small potatoes when compared with the big houses and bestsellers, but it seems to account for everything and should translate similarly to the big time.
