I still offer products in a range of prices, with ebooks the cheapest (in the $3-5 range), paperbacks at retail the cheapest I can afford to offer them (in the $16 range), and then the premium products that you can get either through Etsy or Kickstarter, like signed paperbacks, cameos, etc. But Kickstarter prizes are not intended as normal products: they're intended as capital-raising offerings, which is why even the ebook prizes are twice the amount the book will be at retail, later. People backing the KS do so knowing they're paying more so they can see the product happen at all.
If the prices are too much in the premium lines, I suggest waiting for the book to hit retail and picking up the ebook or paperback then. (Sadly, I can't do much about paper/glue/binding prices and shipping costs. But I do try to keep the retail paperback affordable.)
