If you're talking e-books (and we are) then the costs per copy is zero. You spread the cost of
creating the book (writing, editing, promoting, etc) over as many copies as your business model dictates.
So, unless the owner of the copy or distribution rights
dictates that $2 per copy cost, the argument falls flat. That's not to suggest that such dictates don't exist but even when they do, it doesn't make them optimum.
