Pricing for E-Books Seems High
It seems to me that the price of e-books is high.
Given that the marginal cost of e-books is almost 0, then the standard royalty to the author plus a fair profit for the publisher and the distributor should be the right price.
There are no costs of printing and binding, so it seems to me that the standard price of $9.99 for a Kindle best seller is making someone (probably not the author) a lot of money.
Is anyone in the industry who can shed more light on this?
