I just googled some:
Amazon.com: 3.83%
Apple: 21.43%
IBM: 14.39%
And I think the decision to not continue to publish is usually because the company feels they can't make any money or will lose money by printing more books. Anybody who's ever considering self-publishing physical books can relate to this. You have to sell a lot of books to break-even on even a small print run.
