If you're considering going through a publisher, it's, can you sell 1000 books at $3 on your own faster than they can sell 1200 at $7, of which you get 25% instead of 70%?

I completely agree - it's all about perceived value. The trick in marketing of course is to find a value that maximises one's profits.
My previous post was more of an example of the fact that even if something costs nothing to replicate there's still a cost with its production somewhere along the chain - sadly something that a lot of people forget.
