As fjtorres says, the really interesting bit in the story is the sales figures. The edition published in 2012 was a paperback - the only hardback edition was a later large print version, I think.
So that's 500,000 paperbacks and 700,000 ebooks. The paperback RRP was £8.99, the ebook seems to have RRP of at least £4.99
So for popular new releases, ebooks are now outselling paperbacks by a considerably margin. It will only have widened since 2012, so for a release now, ebooks might well outsell paperbacks by more than 7:5. Perhaps even as much as 2:1?
(Oh, and my guess at the missing royalties is around £1,000,000!)
