Which POD's do you use if you do not mind me asking VydorScope?
Create Space currently, Lulu previously. You can buy my books and see for yourself! Buy lots of copies just to be sure.

My books were at 7.99 and 8.99 on Create Space, I recently raised them because I plan to push them in to extended distribution which is where the big cost jump comes. (rip off, IMO, but thats a dif topic)

FOR EXAMPLE - This book is actually for sale on Amazon.com, and I have a print copy so this is real numbers.

6" x 9" (15.24 x 22.86 cm)
326 pages
Create Space Min List Price - $7.94 USD
Around 110k words.

That is around 337ish words per page.
