For paperback books, on the other hand, there are the paper, printing, and distribution charges for every book.

Thinking big picture, there's still marketing and other business overhead - like accounting to pay royalties, heating the buildings, IT support costs, etc.
Still. There's no distribution, that's certainly less.
