[QUOTE=pwalker8;3947139Still the idea that eBooks from the regular publishers are grossly overpriced because eBooks are significantly cheaper to produce doesn't really bear up to scrutiny. The fact that indies with the same business model as regular publishers tend to be a dollar or two less expense tends to support that.[/QUOTE]

Besides the extra cost for printing, there's the cost for shipping and the cost for warehousing. Then for the bookstore, there's the cost of the store which I would think is more then the cost of computer servers. nd don't forget the cost of the books not being sold and the cover being returned. So all of these things added in to the cost of printing would make the difference in price more then you think.
