For over 4x the price of the ebook, and I get the same royalty for either one.

I paid for extended distribution because I want my books to be available for libraries and B&N and Joe-Bookstore down the street. I also buy an ISBN. It's certainly not my highest cost but on low margins and few sales, it can take a looong time to earn back that plus the costs of the proofs.
