Well, since the claim is that it is the hardcover best sellers that generated most income it seems to me that these are totally dependent on the people that do not buy so many books.

@SpeakingToHe, I am talking about a very specific case where a pBook has been in print for decades and has therefore a strong presence as a used item -- in this case, it makes sense for the eBook version of this book to sell at (a) less than the cost of the same pBook, (b) less than the cost of new eBooks, and (c) close to the used price.
In this case I have actually looked for Victoria Holt and they are not extremely common at least.
