What absolute hogwash!

So all the costs for printing and distribution of a physical product --from paper to ink to machine maintenance, giant warehouses to store physical books, and then the costs of transporting those books from the warehouses to distributors and into the hands of booksellers -- are CHEAPER than formatting an e-book once and storing it on a server that has almost a zero-cost associated with the electronic distribution?

Puh-lease!

I wish Amazon and B&N would put some heat on the publishers -- but then that might upset their traditional book sales model too...
