His argument is absurd on it's face. The middle man always takes a cut. It's not a cost. The only time someone gets 100% of what the end consumer is charged is when they sell directly to the end consumer. Some authors do sale directly to the end consumer. For most who do, it's part of their web site. The actual cost of adding a store onto a website is small, and once you spread it out over the number of books sold is pennies a book.
