And ... I can understand why a newly released book with a hardcover costs more than a book with a soft cover (production costs etc.,) But ... why does the ebook version of a hardback have to cost as much? The preparation of the text, the hosting costs on a server, the bandwidth to download are all the same, aren't they? So ... does this mean that the profit margin for the ebook version of a hardback is greater? These are genuine questions - I hope they're not stupid ones and that I'm not missing something blindingly obvious.

Best Wishes
David
