I agree. Artistic/intellectual value of a text should prime over the financial aspect. It doesn't mean the authors shouldn't be fairly compensated. I just can't accept the publishers to remove any book because it doesn't make a return of (I just invent the percentage) 35% instead of 5-10% (what should be more than enough). In today's world (any activity), any profit that is less than 25-40% is considered as a loss. Helllooo!
