yes i really have a hard time believing that as well. perhaps there is an initial cost to set up the workflow / infrastructure (which is maybe non-negligeable but certainly not prohibitive either). but there are also an entire set of costs which are not applicable to ebooks which have been listed here so many times already, like the printing, shipping, warehousing, re-shipping to final destination (bookshops), overhead costs of stocking them, return shipping for unsold copies, pulping... none of that is free, and none of it is needed for ebooks. now how could that not create a savings for the publisher ?
