Re: Higher Margins in Printed books?!?!?

Kindle Fans Punish Publisher For Delaying Ebook Releases By Giving Books One-Star Reviews
Your making the mistake of applying the retail profit to the publisher. Most buyers only pay 50% of the cover price to the publisher. This brings your numbers to:
Margin = price - cost.
Hardback: ($25*50%)-$5 = $7.50 margin
E-Book: $10 - $0 = $10 margin
