If he means that the fixed costs are a greater proportion of the PHYSICAL book sales, then... I don't care. I mean, duh: lower print purchases mean lower print profits.
If he means that the fixed costs are a greater proportion of ALL book sales, then... I said that already in different words, and then addressed same.
As for the rest, I still maintain that "fixed costs" are not as fixed as the article seems to be claiming.
