None of this makes any sense if you assume that price is based on cost of production.
Not really like that.
Perhaps you should think of it as price based on profit.
Surely they don't give stuff away ... or maybe they do for some reason ... but imagine how much profit they might be making on the singles.

One cannot fail to consider the money sometimes spent on the promotions that occur ... essentially a gamble and loss until recuperated. I wonder how they pay for that? Might it be a better promotion to sell ebooks for cheaper? Just saying.
