I find a visit to Baen Webscriptions page very informative when it comes to what can be done with ebooks, and at what price.

Well, they really do not find new extremely good books so of course that will lead to less cost since they do not search for new authors in that way. I would be very unhappy if new very good authors did not appear just because everybody did things like Baen.
Also, personally I think most of their books are fun to read but they are not intelligent mind-expandingly good science fiction.
