Turow is sounding increasingly like the church hierarchy way back when moveable type was invented.

Take e-books. They are much less expensive for publishers to produce: there are no printing, warehousing or transportation costs,

Apparently, he is unware of how little of the cover price of a book is to pay for paper, ink, and getting it in to the store to buy. Generally, 10-15%, according to industry insiders.

Somehow, I'm not surprised.
