Why do you believe (aside from certain publishers saying so) that an ebook costs a publisher more to produce than a hardcover of the same book?
-snip reasons they cost less- |
I don't. I called that claim smarmy BS snake oil.
Lower in the post you quote, I pointed out that they make more even if they charge less for the pbook, so I would not support the price being equal, even during that window.
In the next, I said they should subtract from the price not only the savings over paper production etc, but also the extra royalty they get in ebooks over paper.
IOW, I completely agree with everything you wrote.
Always have.
