I understand. But the book only needs to be "ePublished" one time. And the additional costs for paper books you mentioned are not insignificant. And you need to add salaries for those who print and warehouse, and the cost of paper (also not insignificant). The bottom line, eBooks are much, much cheaper to produce than "real" books and they should cost less (and and did cost less, and would continue costing less) in a non-colluding world.
