You missed a couple of things on that one: And make money quite nicely on them. And have eSales that, although running 2nd to U.S. paper sales,
exceed all non-U.S. paper sales combined.
All this while charging (in the internal accounting sense, that is) each e-book sold its pro-rata share of the fixed costs, and paying authors a per-copy royalty that is better than m.m.paperback (but slightly less than hardcover).
And those "very attractive prices" range from $6.00 per book (quantity one) to $1.88 per book (in some bundles -- 8 books for $15). And the books are available electronically
before paper publication, and never go out of print.
