Ebooks have no material value once its produced it can be replicated for nothing. Once the infastructure is in place producing ebooks should be much much cheaper than pbooks.
The infastructure shouldn't be too expencive either as hosting should not be a major issue. Commercial PC games companys sell digital downloads with sizes reaching into gigabytes relative to this storing and uploading a book is nothing. DRM software is unnecessary and a pointless expence its their own fault if they choose to squander money on it, all the books are available on the net anyway if people want to pirate it they can and will so why punish the legitimate customers with crippled products.
Frankly all the excuses he makes are BS. They don't want ebooks cutting into the pbook market that is thereal reason the prices are so high if ebooks ever become mainstream the prices will be forced down to a more reasonable price mark my words.
