I'm not arguing the point, I've never argued the point that it isn't free to deliver ebooks. The very first line in my original post was: "While it's true that ebooks aren't free (per copy) I'd just like to put it in perspective."
How anyone could derive that I'm trying to say that delivering ebooks is free from that statement is beyond me. I was trying to do only one thing and this is put it in perspective. In many threads on this forum, on blogs just about everywhere there seems to be misperception that delivering ebooks somehow compares to the cost of printing and delivering a physical book. That is what I was addressing.
EDIT: Let me just elaborate for one more paragraph. I didn't do this to prove anyone here wrong, I just wanted to get to what I found the most interesting discussion about the price point. Not the actual price but the business models that force the price to a certain point. It certainly isn't the cost per copy, it's the overhead.
