No, the charge is not for that - if it were, it would be against the law. I'm sure they write it off as something interesting never-the-less. I've actually called and asked about it, there's a lot of excuses and ambiguity thrown in, but they pretty much just resort to a "we're sorry sir, but that is the pricing in your region".

The other thing is, you'd need to download the book nearly 25 times to break even without bulk discount.
