What does charging more for an ebook that a paperback have to do with the author's compensation? Or is this just a red herring?
If you are talking about indie publishing, the author has more control though Amazon has some nasty habits when it comes to sales and prices. For the Big 4/5 and their cousins, the royalties are set in the contract but the prices are under the publisher's control.
