True, but I was trying to point out that if you can typeset and proofread all of Shakespeare and sell it cheaply, then it can't be horribly expensive to do so. I wouldn't expect the costs of digitizing all of Christie's work to be much more than that. So I was looking at it as a sort of baseline for the price of a large collection; the point they could go down to without going into the red.
