What about storage, delivery, warehousing, disposal. With an eBook you don't need to decided if the initial run is to be 10k or 100k. You just create a file as the books are purchased. This has GOT to be less expensive than printing etc. As you say, the "cost" of all this is in the price of the book. If those costs were eliminated and the books are sold for the same price (which already seems to be the case with eBooks) then the publisher gets that extra money, yes?
