Still. There's no distribution, that's certainly less.

But why should all that, which goes to the production and selling of new books, count against old back list books?
Which if e-books didn't exist, probably wouldn't even be available?
Backlist e-book sales are basically found money for publishers...especially as it's the sites that actually sell the books that take care of most of the things like cost of delivery and keeping up the servers. About the only additional expense is accounting...
