That one's actually unusually cheap. A more realistic example is Colin Dexter's "Last Bus to Woodstock" (the first "Inspector Morse" novel):

Wonder how much the author's royalty is on these prices. If one looks at the Kobo model, one can imagine that the price of ebooks is going to come down to somewhere around 2x royalty, where one goes to the author and one to the publishing business, in Kobo's case often Kobo. Now that would put the fear of god into the music industry!
