Cost of eBooks vs dead-tree books
Something confusing. eBooks seem they should be cheaper - the costs tend to be one-time to produce the file, and then whatever costs there are to host the file on a web-server (or letting Amazon/Kobo do it and take a cut).
Seems like it'd be less than printing the book and handling the logistics of getting it out to the retailer.
Still, the eBooks are commonly more expensive. What gives?
