Miniscule? Less certainly, but how much less? Much of a books production cost comes before it is printed, warehoused and shipped.

In reality, there's absolutely no reason e-books shouldn't cost LESS than paperbacks, and there's equally no reason the authors shouldn't be getting a reasonable return on e-book sales.
Agreed, but the question is how much less.

And I have YET to see any real numbers that show authors selling for $.99 or $2.99 aren't making a reasonable return.
Have you got numbers to say they are?
