Sorry, I didn't read it carefully. What it's saying is that the wholesale price was lower for ebooks. So if the typical wholesale price for pbooks would be 45% of the retail price so $11.25 for a $25 retail price, the wholesale price for ebooks could around 40%, so $10, meaning that Amazon wouldn't lose money on average but make or lose something on a case-to-case basis.
