They offer a service, why wouldn't they charge for it?

Can you find a price list of a printing press that would print a paperback for $1 per copy?

And you ignored the rest of my post, so I'll ask you again: do you think that it's fair that the author would be payed $5000 for writing the book while another person gets payed more than $2000 for the format shifting of a single book?
