Only if they are sold locally, otherwise they would only be competing with real books priced at $4 or more total cost. Everyone knows that with those $0.01 sales all of the profit is on the shipping cost.

$2 for the writer, $1 each for the publisher and distributor. Seems a fair enough split to me, and accurately reflects each party's contribution.
