Biggest disappointment is that eBook pricing is not compelling. Pricing is usually the same between the two platforms, often within a couple of pennies. It does vary sometimes, but quite often the price of a book on either platform is about the same as the price of the book when it is released in paperback.
Couldn't agree more. In fact, Amazon has recently been stalled in contract negotiations with Hachette, one of the major book publishers, regarding retail pricing.
It's worth noting that, in general, readers can find more, less expensive books for Kindle. In addition to Kindle Monthly Deals (all books $3.99 or less) and other regular deals, there's also the independent publishing movement -- Amazon has made it easy for authors to use the Kindle platform to offer their ebooks for sale, and many of those are priced at low prices, and even free.
Disclaimer: I'm one of them. I published two novels around 2011, and since then founded a publishing company through which I've been working with other authors, several of whom had previously published with much larger companies, to make their ebooks available. None of our books are priced higher than $4.99, and many are available for much less.
Our books are sometimes available on multiple platforms, but right now they're available exclusively from Amazon because we wanted to try out the new Kindle Unlimited subscription service. That's $10 per month for unlimited reading of books in the program--with the ability to "borrow" 10 books at a time. It's a pretty great program if you read a lot.
