Yup. Exactly what I was thinking.
Plus, I think part of the "ebooks should be significantly cheaper" theory is also based on the fact that many of those fixed costs are already being covered by the print books. So creating an ebook
in addition to the print book is cheaper for the publisher than, say, printing another 100,000 copies.
