Irrelevant to the point as to how many people are will to pay full price for hardbacks, if they are not actually paying full price.

Just because a book sells more copies doesn't necessarily mean it will make more money. How much money a book will make depends on profit margin times sales. A book with a low profit margin has to sell a lot more books than a book with a higher profit margin.
Generally speaking, you are correct, however.
