I suspect that most books from probably the last 20 years or more existed in a digital format at some point in the production process.
That said, if one paperback page is still equal to about 2 in the KENPC, you're looking at a 300 page paperback getting somewhere around $2.40 for a full KU readthrough. Or a $2.99 sale with 70% royalties is something like $2.10.
so a buck or two per sale is significant potentially.
And a lot of the ebook pricing BS is the big publishing houses trying to prop up print sales by doing stupid stuff with eBook pricing.
EDIT: That said, I suspect most books from the last 20 years or longer existed in a fully edited if not laid out digital form at some point.
