I certainly never meant to insult any author and my point about the printing costs not being insignificant does not mean I believe the costs are higher than 10% of the total costs. I consider 10% to be a significant cost. If it is 10% of the costs to print and distribute a pbook then please explain why an ebook is more expensive.
I understand that the costs of printing are less than what the public might think but the costs are not so low that they are negative and result in an ebook being more expensive to produce than a pbook. That would mean the printers are actually paying the publishers to print the book. Call me naive but I think that is unlikely. I may not be buying tons of paper but I know printers well enough to know that they charge for their services. Perhaps if I was a bigger buyer of print then they would start paying me but I am clearly not there yet.
